Japan data: Q4 GDP (revised) 0.0% q/q (preliminary was +0.2%) | Forexlive

A disappointment on Japanese economic growth in the October – December quarter of 2022.

The preliminary reading was +0.2%, but thats been revised to flat at 0% change on the quarter.

The ‘deflator’ you see in the numbers above is an indicator of inflation. Its well below the officially reported CPI numbers and well below the 2% Bank of Japan target. So, no economic growth and inflation below target. Its difficult to see the BOJ tightening policy under this set of circumstances.
