A government report Monday showed Japan’s economy shrank an annualized 1.6 percent in the three months through June, snapping two quarters of expansion. Analysts forecast a 1.8 percent contraction after the economy grew a revised 4.5 percent in the first quarter.
The contraction came as consumers and businesses cut spending, putting pressure on the prime minister to return his focus to Abenomics. Since coming to power in December 2012, Shinzo Abe has delivered unprecedented monetary easing and fiscal stimulus that helped push the Topix stock index to an eight-year high this month, but failed to translate into a broader economic recovery.
