TOKYO, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Japan's economy grew 0.1 percent in
April-June from the previous quarter, government data showed on
Monday, falling slightly short of market expectations for a 0.2
percent increase.
The rise, which was the 10th straight quarter of expansion,
translated into an annualised increase of 0.5 percent.
In January-March, the economy grew 0.8 percent, for a revised
annualised rise of 3.2 percent.
The government made a minor revision in the way it compiles
preliminary gross domestic product from the April-June data,
which included a change in the calculation method for inventory
contributions to GDP. [ID:nT108775]
