Japan's economy growing, but political uncertainty is among risks

Japan’s economy grew at an annual rate of 2.9%, slower than the earlier report for 3.1% growth, in the April-June period, boosted by better wages and spending, revised government data showed Monday.

Yesterday's article: Spending flat and wages stagnant.

The weakening of Japan’s economic clout is a pressing concern for a nation

The LDP is all about the economic clout and not the prosperity of it's people.

The weakening of Japan’s economic clout is a pressing concern for a nation...

Why? the countries with the highest socio-economic conditions are overwhelming the likes of Norway, Singapore, Luxemburg, Denmark, Switzerland, etc. How about focusing on people's welfare rather than on the power of corporations' and governments'?

Keep going Japan..

Let the haters bark..

political uncertainty? they know no matter who gets elected nothing will change

I doutht his figure of 3% strongly.

When population will reach 100 milllion inhabitants, Japanese politicians will keep telling economic growth is 3% and that old people are making plenty of innovations...

Monday’s GDP data showed domestic demand grew a robust 3.0% from the previous quarter on the back of healthy household consumption and private sector investments

Private consumption grew 0.9% Q/Q and capital investment rose 0.8% Q/Q, so where does 3% come from?
