I just posted on the Nikkei piece with the forecast for negative GDP in September.

Which reminded me of a piece in the Japan News on Q3 GDP

  • GDP believed to have contracted at an annualized rate of 0.2 percent in price-adjusted real terms in July-September from the previous quarter
  • That's the average estimate of 10 economic research institutes
  • Marks the second straight quarter of negative economic growth

Note: Cabinet Office will release preliminary GDP data for July-September on November 16
