TOKYO (Reuters) -- Japan's economy expanded in the October-December quarter at a slower pace than initially reported, government data showed on Tuesday, weighed by weaker consumption but still likely supporting the case for further interest rate hikes.
Gross domestic product expanded an annualized 2.2% in the three months to December, the Cabinet Office's revised data showed, slower than the 2.8% growth in the initial estimate and economists' median forecast.
