Japan Slips into Recession, Loses Third-Largest Economy Spot
TL;DR Summary
Japan has slipped into recession, losing its spot as the world's third-largest economy to Germany, after reporting two consecutive quarters of contraction. The fourth quarter GDP sharply missed forecasts, with nominal GDP growing 5.7% over 2023. The weak economic reading has led investors to believe that the Bank of Japan could delay its exit from the country's long-standing negative interest rate policy.
