Japan's economy grew 1.1% year‑on‑year in the April‑June quarter, the latest data reported by The Tribune.

Power supply shortages have affected businesses and households, limiting consumption growth. Analysts warn that continued energy constraints could restrain further expansion, prompting the government to seek solutions to stabilize supply.
