Japan has cheered global investors today by returning to growth, after the pandemic dragged its economy into an unprecedented recession. Japanese GDP grew by 5% in the third quarter of the year -- faster than expected, and the best quarterly growth on record after three quarters of contraction. That follows a record downturn of around 8.2% in April-June, and means that Japan’s economy is still almost 6% smaller than it was a year ago.
