Japan's GDP dips 0.1% in June

Blame weak demand from overseas.

Japan’s real GDP fell by 0.1% in June from a 0.5% grow in May, due to the lowest recorded overseas demand in two months, Nikkei Japan said in a report.

The Japan Center for Economic Research said in its GDP estimate that weak US and EU-bound shipments diminished the country’s exports by 1%. Imports also rose by 1.7%.

Housing investment also waned by 0.4%. However, personal consumption grew 0.5%, thanks to stronger new-vehicle sales. Capital investment increased by 0.5%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
