Japan economy growing slowly
Japan’s economy grew 0.2 per cent in October-December from the previous quarter, government data showed today, revised down from a preliminary 0.3 per cent expansion due to slower growth in capital spending and private consumption. The result compared with the median forecast from economists for a 0.3 per cent expansion. The revised GDP figure means annualised growth of 0.7 per cent in real, price-adjusted terms.
