Japan’s economy is still in recession but contracted at a smaller rate than initially estimated for the first quarter – government data

The difference was large because private-sector demand had not dropped as much as previously estimated. The annual rate is the projected number if the same level of growth or contraction in that quarter lasted for a whole year. The on-quarter drop was 0.6 percent for the real gross domestic product, or GDP, the total value of a nation’s goods and services.
Japan’s economy was already stagnant in recent years, a plight that worsened over trade conflict between the US and China, its most important trading partners. The coronavirus pandemic hit on top of all that.
