EconomyJapan’s economy slows, missing growth forecasts

Japan’s GDP grew 0.3 percent in the second quarter, down from 0.5 percent in the previous quarter and below analysts’ forecasts. Private consumption was flat and capital spending fell 1.2 percent, offsetting strong exports. The weaker figures could complicate the Bank of Japan’s September rate decision.
