Japan GDP fall brings back recession jitters

Japan’s economy shrank 0.9 per cent in the three months to September, marking the first contraction in three quarters, adding to signs that slowing global growth and tensions with China are nudging the world’s third-largest economy into recession.

The fall in GDP, which matched a median market forecast, translated into an annualised 3.5 per cent fall, government data showed on Monday.
