Japan revises down GDP growth figures
Japan revised down growth numbers for the Q2, adding to concerns about a downturn in the world's third biggest economy. The government reported that the nation's economy expanded at a 0.7% annual rate during the April-June period, down from the earlier forecast of 1.4%. Depressed domestic demand and weakening exports have undermined Japan's growth.
