News Summary: Japan economy grew in last quarter
78 days ago
By The Associated Press
RISING SOME: Japan's economy did better than first thought in the last quarter of 2012, eking out a slight expansion instead of shrinking.
SAYONARA RECESSION? The government upgraded its annualized growth figure for the fourth quarter to 0.2 percent, suggesting the world's No. 3 economy is emerging from recession.
YEN FOR GROWTH: A sharp weakening in Japan's currency in recent months is seen as a boost for the country's export manufacturers _ especially big names like Toyota Motor Corp. and Sony Corp., but it also has raised costs for imports of fuel and other commodities.
