Japanese industrial output tumbled in August
Japan's industrial output fell
more than expected in August, as the demand for cars and electronics was weak
due to the global slowdown. As reported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and
Industry, nation's industrial production slumped to a seasonally adjusted
-1.3%, down from -1.0% in July, adding concerns that the world's third biggest
economy may slip into recession by the end of 2012.
