IMF raises Japan growth forecast for 2017 to 1.5 pct
The International Monetary Fund
Tokyo - Egypt Today

The IMF said it now expects the world's number three economy to post 1.5 percent GDP growth in 2017 and 0.7 percent next year, up from a July projection of 1.3 percent and 0.6 percent respectively.
