Japan in the grip of recession due to decline in GDP

A decline in Japan's GDP has plunged it into recession and it has lost its place as the world's third largest economy. Japan's GDP has dropped to $4.2 trillion, while Germany's GDP has overtaken it at number three at $4.5 trillion. Experts say that the lack of momentum in Japan's economy is likely to continue as there is no major factor for growth. Meanwhile, the UK economy has also faced a slowdown in the last six months of 2023, posing a challenge for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as elections are due at the end of 2024. Sunak promised voters last year to boost the economy. His Conservative
