The latest data reveals a more significant decline than anticipated, with the gross domestic product (GDP) shrinking by 0.4% in the final quarter of 2023 compared to the previous year.
This follows a substantial 3.3% contraction in the preceding quarter.
Additionally, statistics from Japan's Cabinet Office highlight a shift in global economic rankings, as Japan surrenders its position as the world's third-largest economy to Germany.
