TOKYO -- Japan's seasonally adjusted real gross domestic product grew 0.3% in February from January as exports to China expanded, the Japan Center for Economic Research said in a report released on Wednesday, marking the first expansion in three months.
January's growth rate fell 1.5% from the previous month. Based on the average figures for the first two months of 2022, the think tank now expects a 3.4% drop for the January-March quarter from the October-December period.
