TOKYO -- Japan's economy shrank an annualized 2.9% in the three months through September from the previous quarter, according to data from the Cabinet Office on Friday, worse than the preliminary 2.1% contraction released last month.
The revised gross domestic product figure showed the country marking its first economic contraction in four quarters, as inflation weighed on private consumption and as corporate investment slowed.
