Japan's economy grew an annualized real 1.6 percent in the January-March quarter of 2023, the first expansion in three quarters, the government said Wednesday.
Real gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, increased 0.4 percent from the previous quarter. GDP is the total value of goods and services produced in a country.
