Japan's economy contracted 0.4% in the quarter ended September, beating expectations of a 0.6% decline. GDP fell 1.8% on an annualized basis, with exports shrinking 1.2% due to US tariffs. Government consumption rose 0.5% and public demand grew 0.5%, offsetting decline in private demand and contributing to a smaller contraction than anticipated.
