Japan’s Real GDP Growing Back, Barely: GDP Up 0.2% in Q4

The Cabinet Office has released preliminary GDP figures for the period from October to December 2025. Real GDP excluding the effects of price fluctuations rose 0.1% compared to the previous quarter.

If this pace continued for a full year, it would translate to an annualized growth rate of 0.2%, marking a shift back into positive territory after the negative growth recorded in the July–September quarter.

Personal consumption, which accounts for more than half of Japan’s GDP, increased by 0.1%, and corporate capital investment rose by 0.2%.

Exports fell by 0.3%, and imports also declined by 0.3%.
