Japan nears record economic growth

Japan is nearing the achievement of its longest continuous period of economic growth since World War II, exceeding 72 months of expansion so far. This record could be broken if the current positive trends persist, as the previous longest stretch was 73 months. This comes despite challenges related to inflation and the impact of the war in Iran on oil prices, with the central bank continuing to gradually raise interest rates. The economy grew by 1.8% in the first quarter. Expectations suggest this positive momentum will continue for several more months, supported by rising wages and a boost in exports boosted by artificial intelligence technologies.
