Third quarter economic growth in Japan, this the final (link to the preliminary is below)

  • GDP sa q/q  0.4%, ahead of the preliminary result.
  • GDP annualised sa 1.8%
  • GDP nominal q/q 0.6%
  • GDP deflator (an inflation indication)
  • Private consumption 0.5% q/q
  • Business spending 1.8% q/q
For the preliminary readings and those for Q2, here is the report:
  • Japan GDP (preliminary) for Q3 0.1% q/q (vs. expected 0.2%)
The growth figures are well ahead of the preliminary release. A relatively string report. Some of the strength in consumer activity will be ‘front loading’ ahead of the sales tax hike that came on October 1 I guess (although this did not show up to much extent in other data).

Within the framework of China’s five-year plan, which outlines the country’s economic development goals for the 2016-2020 period, Beijing plans to improve the prosperity of some 70 million Chinese nationals, whose wealth is below the poverty line, according to the government data.

According to the People’s Daily, money allocated by the ADBC are expected to fund education, infrastructure construction in the rural areas, resettlement programs, support corn farming and tourism.

The newspaper added that the proposed measures could improve the wealth status of the poorest citizens of China.

The ADBC is China’s bank which aims at the development of the country’s rural areas and agriculture by means of raising and allocation of special funds to support the sector, as well as agriculture-related business operations in line with Chinese legislation, according to the bank’s website.
