Japan’s economy manages 1.1% growth rate despite headwinds
Japan's economy grew at an annual rate of 1.1% in the April-June quarter, even while private consumption remained flat and exports declined. Although quarterly GDP growth was lower than expected due to economic headwinds such as high energy costs from the war in Iran, strong global demand for autos and semiconductors helped support Japan’s exports.
