Japan’s economy grows at 1.7 per cent annual pace in Jan-Mar
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Japan’s economy grew at a better than expected 1.7 per cent annual pace in the first quarter of this year, as solid consumer demand and higher government spending offset relatively weak business investment and sluggish exports.
The Cabinet Office reported Wednesday that the quarterly pace of GDP growth for the world’s third-largest economy was 0.4 per cent.
Most economists had forecast growth would be flat, or only a few tenths of a percentage point at best.
Private consumption, which accounts for Japan’s largest share of growth, rose by an anemic 0.5 per cent in January-March from a year earlier, while public demand expanded by 2.6 per cent. Business investment and spending on housing declined.
“Consumer spending made a solid contribution to growth in the first quarter, but weak business and residential investment prevented Japan’s economy from reaching escape velocity,” Bill Adams, senior international economist at PNC Financial Services Group, said in a note…

The right path to riches

(Illustration by Ryan Inzana)Eight years ago, Seth and Rachel Jacobson of Edmonton met through an online dating website. The two hit it off right away in their initial meeting at a local diner. “We realized immediately that we had a lot in common,” says Rachel, 37, an office manager in Edmonton. “We both love adventure travel and given that we both spent time studying theology in bible college, our philosophy about life and how to live it meshed nicely.” (We’ve changed names to protect privacy.)
While the couple have two dogs, their focus shifted this past year. Now, they want to start a family—hoping for two or three children over the next five years. Trouble is, the Jacobsons consider themselves novices when it comes to investing in anything besides real estate and they’re afraid they’ve missed the boat when it comes to building a financial portfolio. Currently, they own a house and two rental properties—all of which have mortgages. “One of us grew up in a very religious home where investing was considered ‘worldly’ and not ‘planning for heaven,’” says Seth, who works in communications for a local college…
