TOKYO, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) — Japan's economy contracted 1.8 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025, marking the first contraction in six quarters, preliminary government data showed Monday.
According to the Cabinet of Ministers, on a quarterly basis, real gross domestic product (GDP), adjusted for inflation, fell by 0.4 percent in the period from July to September compared to the previous three months.
The GDP contraction was expected as the country's economy faced high inflation, sluggish private consumption and higher tariffs in the US.
Exports decreased by 1.2 percent compared to April-June, while imports fell by 0.1 percent. As a result, external demand, or exports minus imports, reduced GDP by 0.2 percentage points, accounting for half of the overall decline.
In other key indicators, private consumption, which accounts for more than half of economic output, increased 0.1 percent, while corporate investment rose 1.0 percent. –0–
