Shafaqna English– Revised GDP figures released on Monday(8 Jun 2026) showed that Japan’s economy lost momentum in the first quarter compared to the previous quarter due to weak capital spending, signaling future challenges stemming from the Middle East conflict.
Nonetheless, economists stated that the overall economy would probably remain robust in the months ahead, since the repercussions of the Iran war are not thought to significantly impact household spending or business investment.
