According to a government report, a considerable shrinkage was noted in Japan’s economy during the 2nd Q. The report suggests that weakening consumer demand and slow exports are leading the world’s second biggest economy to the brink of recession.
During the April –June period, Japan’s gross domestic product (GDP) fell with an annual pace of 2.4 percent.
These new figures, which are the first negative reading in four quarters, indicate that Japan’s six-year expansion has come to an end.
The Cabinet Office told that GDP shrank 0.6 percent in that quarter while there was an increase of 0.8 percent during January-March .Private consumption fell 0.5 percent from the previous quarter and housing investment was 3.4 percent down.
