Nikkei NEEDS is an economic data service from Nikkei Inc. for analysis of companies, markets, and economic conditions in Japan. Its official site identifies financial professionals, operating companies, and academic users among its audiences. The catalog covers corporate and financial information, equities and bonds, commodities, domestic and international macroeconomic and financial data, regional economies, and industries. Listed data include company financials and attributes, major shareholders, securities information, commodity prices, economic statistics on areas such as prices, employment, and trade, regional statistics, and industry statistics. FinancialQUEST provides online access to NEEDS data, while the BULK service schedules delivery of updated data to customer systems. Other products and delivery formats are available for different uses. Nikkei states that its database services are paid and generally require a corporate contract, so this is not a free public-data download portal. Product scope, delivery options, and contract terms should be checked on the relevant service page.
