The Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism reported on Wednesday that housing starts in the country recovered strongly last month, ending a 3-month long streak of contraction; which was possible partly due to post-quake rebuilding needs. Year on year, housing starts increased by 15.5%, following a reading of minus 5.5% in the last month of the summer. Economists, however, expected a stronger growth of 17% in September.

The number of construction orders that were received by 50 major construction companies increased at a slower rate of only 3.6%, following a major expansion of 8.7% in August.
