Japan's economy grew 0.3% in third quarter

The latest GDP expansion -- a 1.4-percent annualised growth rate -- was driven by robust exports

Japan's economy grew 0.3 percent in the third quarter, official data showed Wednesday, marking the seventh straight quarter of growth in the longest string of gains for more than 16 years.

The latest GDP expansion -- a 1.4-percent annualised growth rate -- was driven by robust exports, which offset a quarterly decline in domestic demand.
