TOKYO : Japan's government will set up a third-party committee to look into the ensuing construction order data scandal and report on the findings within a month, Land Minister Tetsuo Saito said on Thursday.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Wednesday confirmed a report by the Asahi newspaper that the government had overstated the value of some construction orders received from builders for years, in a blow to the credibility of official statistics widely used by investors and economists.
