Japan slides into recession in wake of tax hike, undermining global growth prospects
– canadianbusiness.com
TOKYO – Japan’s economy unexpectedly shrank in the third quarter as housing and business investment declined following a tax hike, dragging the country into a recession and further clouding the outlook for the global economy.
