Japan: Economic growth disappoints in Q2, with further slowdown likely in Q3
Economic growth disappointed in the second quarter. The government's first estimate of GDP showed the economy expanded 0.6% in the three months to June, growing for the third successive quarter, but at a slower rate than the 0.9% increase seen in the first quarter (equivalent to annualized rates of 2.6% and 3.8% respectively).
