A: Hey there! Did you catch the latest news?

B: Nope, what's going on?

A: Well, Japan's economy grew at a rate of 1% over the last three months! That's five quarters in a row now.

B: Whoa, that's great! But isn't that just a temporary report?

A: Exactly! A preliminary report was released on Friday. The real GDP grew by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter and works out to be 1% annually.

B: That sounds positive! Did they revise anything from the first quarter data?

A: Yeah, they actually upgraded the overall GDP data for the first quarter. They now say there was a small contraction instead of the earlier estimate that showed a bigger one.

B: Interesting... So, what's driving this growth?

A: Well, private consumption grew by 0.2%, corporate investments expanded by 1.3%, and housing investments rose by 0.8%.

B: And exports? How did they fare despite the higher tariffs from the US?

A: Surprisingly well! Exports were actually up by 2% during that period. So, despite the tariffs, Japan's doing alright.
