Japan's Retail Sales Growth Slows in August
Original: Japan’s August Retail Sales Growth Slowed
Japan's retail sales continued to grow in August, but at a slower pace than before. The cooling figures point to softer consumer spending in the world's third-largest economy, a key concern for policymakers and businesses watching household demand amid inflation and questions over the strength of Japan's economic recovery.
Why now: Investors and economists are watching Japanese consumer demand closely for signals about the economy's momentum and future Bank of Japan policy.
