Tokyo, March 22 (BridgeNews) - Japan's capital investment is expected to fall 5.2% from a year earlier in fiscal 2001-02 (April-March), according to a survey conducted by the Development Bank of Japan. However, FY2000 capital investment will likely increase 7.8% on the year, it said. The survey result for FY2001 apparently reflects the recent deterioration of exports and production along with the slowing U.S. and Asian economies.
