Japón - PIB - Tasa de crecimiento trimestral

The Japanese economy advanced 0.1 percent quarter-on-quarter in the three months to September 2019, missing market expectations of a 0.2 percent expansion and following a revised 0.4 percent growth in the previous period, a preliminary estimate showed. This marked the weakest pace of quarterly expansion since a 0.5 percent contraction in the September quarter last year, mainly due to a slowdown in household consumption and a negative contribution from net exports. On an annualized basis, the economy expanded 0.2 percent in the third quarter, after an upwardly revised 1.8 percent expansion in the June quarter and below consensus of a 0.8 percent advance.

Japan's quarterly economic growth was revised lower to 0.3 percent in the second quarter of 2019 from a preliminary estimate of 0.4 percent and compared to the previous period's 0.5 percent growth.

On an annualized basis, the economy grew 1.3 percent in the second quarter, weaker than the preliminary reading of 1.8 percent and after a revised 2.2 percent expansion in the previous quarter.

The Japanese economy advanced 0.4 percent quarter-on-quarter in the three months to June 2019, easily beating market expectations of a 0.1 percent expansion and following an upwardly revised 0.7 percent growth in the previous period, a preliminary estimate showed.

On an annualized basis, the economy grew by 1.8 percent in the second quarter, after an upwardly revised 2.8 percent expansion in the March quarter and far above estimates of a 0.4 percent advance.

The Japanese economy advanced 0.6 percent quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2019, stronger than a preliminary estimate of 0.5 percent and after an upwardly revised 0.5 percent growth in the previous period. Net exports contributed positively to the GDP growth for the first time in four quarters, while there was a substantial upward revision to capital expenditure. On an annualized basis, the economy grew 2.2 percent in the first quarter, better than a preliminary figure of 2.1 percent and following an upwardly revised 1.8 percent advance in the previous quarter.

The Japanese economy grew by 0.5 percent quarter-on-quarter in the three months to March 2019, easily beating market expectations of a 0.1 percent contraction and following a downwardly revised 0.4 percent advance in the previous period, a preliminary estimate showed. The expansion was mainly supported by net export gains, as imports fell faster than exports, while there were concerns about weak household consumption ahead of a looming sales tax rise. On an annualized basis, the economy grew by 2.1 percent in the first quarter, also defying market forecasts of a 0.2 percent contraction.

On an annualized basis, the economy grew 1.9 percent, faster than the preliminary figure of 1.4 percent, slightly above forecasts of a 1.8 percent expansion and rebounding from a downwardly revised 2.4 percent contraction in the previous quarter.
