TOUS 4645 Japon une croissance qui resiste mais deçoit les attentes

The Japanese economy continued to grow in the second quarter of 2026, but at a slower pace than expected. GDP increased by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter, compared to the 0.5% forecast by economists, following a 0.5% rise in the first quarter.Household consumption remained stable while business investment declined. Exports, particularly those related to hybrid vehicles and artificial intelligence equipment, supported economic activity. This resilience could bolster the Bank of Japan's confidence in raising interest rates again in the fall.
