JAL Group: "During the nine months of consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Japanese economy showed weakness, however personal spending was stable in general. In overseas economies, weakness was observed in Asia's emerging markets, resource-rich markets and China markets... Meanwhile, the Japanese yen grew stronger against the US dollar, but started to depreciate from December after the Federal Open Market Committee of the US Federal Reserve Board decided to raise its benchmark interest rate."
