TOKYO -- Japan's gross domestic product growth in the April-June period was revised down from a preliminary forecast due to weak capital spending, but the world's third-biggest economy maintained a third straight quarter of expansion.
The revised expansion of an annualized 4.8% from the previous quarter compares with the initial 6.0% released in August, the Cabinet Office announced on Friday. A Reuters poll of economists projected a growth rate of 5.5%.
