Japan's economic growth weaker than forecast www.bbc.com

Japan's economy grew at a weaker-than-expected rate in the second quarter despite an aggressive spending policy by the government.
Gross domestic product grew at an annualised rate of 0.2% in the three months to June, below market forecasts for 0.7% and a marked slowdown from the 2% rate in the first quarter.
The figures come after the government launched a massive new stimulus package worth 28 trillion yen ($265bn; £200bn).
Japanese stocks fell after the data.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 share index dropped 0.3% on concerns that Asia's second-largest economy will continue to struggle.
On top of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's fiscal stimulus, Japan's central bank is running negative interest rates and an unprecedented asset-purchase programme.
Timothy Graf, head of macro strategy at State Street Global Markets said Japan's growth figures "could have been a lot worse".
There are "worries building over slowing domestic consumption, capital expenditure and the potential for weaker net exports thanks to a stronger yen," he said.
"It still keeps markets focused on whether the Bank of Japan will ease policy later this year, but there may be some sense of relief that the current growth slowdown is not more aggressive."
'Wave of stimulus'
Mr Abe has been under pressure to end two decades of deflation, or falling prices, but analysts say his policies are not working.
"The main aim of Abenomics was to turn around the economy in a fundamental sense, so basically reform the traditional blockages to growth, and on that front we've seen very little progress," Marcel Thieliant, Japan economist at Capital Economics told the BBC.
"Basically the economy is riding on a wave of monetary stimulus but as soon as that wave loses momentum we will basically get back to where we were before."Due to the weak state of the economy, Mr Abe has delayed another increase to the country's controversial sales tax to 2019.
Japan needs to raise more money to fund its public debt, one of the world's largest, but when it last increased the sales tax in 2014 the economy shrunk as people cut back on spending.
Private consumption accounts for about 60% of GDP but that only rose 0.2% in the second quarter, compared with a 0.7% increase the quarter earlier.
Business investment also fell for a second straight quarter as the strengthening Japanese currency dented confidence and demand for the country's exports.

Asia stocks flat after Wall Street enters record territory www.bbc.com

Asian stocks are trading mixed even though a rally on Wall Street saw US stock indices enter record territory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose to new highs as traders bet central banks will unleash new stimulus measures.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 fluctuated in early trade and is down 0.14% as the strong yen weighed on exporter shares.
South Korea's Kospi is 0.2% higher as it resumed trading after a holiday on Monday.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 and New Zealand's S&P/NZX 50 Index are both flat.
In Greater China, stocks opened higher on hopes the launch date of a new trading link between Shenzhen and Hong Kong will be announced soon.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.6% and the Shanghai Composite gained 0.15%.

US stock indexes end at all-time highs www3.nhk.or.jp

Rising oil prices pushed up share prices in New York on Monday. All three major US stock indexes ended at all-time highs.
 
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained a third of a percent to close at 18,636. Energy-related shares gained, as crude oil futures climbed to their highest level in about a month.
 
The tech-heavy Nasdaq rose more than half a percent. Analysts say a relatively weaker dollar is boosting a wide range of shares. The broader S&P 500 also hit a record high.
 
This is the second time in less than a week that the big three American indexes finished the same day at all-time highs.
 
But analysts doubt whether the bullish mood will continue for much longer as some data is painting a lackluster picture of the US economy. Retail sales in July were much weaker than market expectations.

Indonesian carriers cleared for US flights after nine-year ban www.bbc.com

Indonesian airlines have been cleared to begin flying to the US, after a safety review by regulators.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Indonesia has regained its Category 1 top-tier air-safety rating after nearly a decade.
Indonesia's fast-growing aviation market suffered several high-profile accidents and was downgraded in 2007.
The European Union also recently lifted a ban on three Indonesia airlines.
Reports said state carrier Garuda Indonesia could begin flying to the US next year. It is exploring a possible new service from the Indonesian capital Jakarta to New York or Los Angeles, the report said.
India and Philippines were returned to Category 1 status in recent years after making improvements. However, Thailand was downgraded last December.

Oil surges on possible talks between Moscow & Riyadh www.rt.com

Russian Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak said Russia is considering engaging in talks with Saudi Arabia on stabilizing oil prices. The possibility of a production freeze between the world’s largest producers has boosted global oil prices.“With regard to cooperation with Saudi Arabia, the dialogue between our two countries is developing in a tangible way, whether in the framework of a multi-party structure or on a bilateral level,” Novak told Saudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.
 
“We are cooperating in consultations regarding the oil market with OPEC countries and producers from outside the organization, and are determined to continue dialogue to achieve market stability,” he added.
 
The news helped recently slumping oil prices to rally. On Monday, North Sea benchmark Brent reached August highs of $47.61 per barrel, while US WTI crude traded above $45 a barrel.
 
Prices are rising despite data from the US that shows its oil rigs count continued to grow for seventh week in a row, the longest run since 2014.
 
A production shortage in Nigeria helped offset the US data, however. Nigerian Oil Minister Emmanuel Kachikwu said the country will not produce more than 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) this year, as militants have seized important oil facilities. The country used to pump almost 2.5 million bpd.
 
The Russian Energy Minister doesn’t expect the oil market to rebalance next year, while the era of low prices is likely to end by 2017.
 
Novak’s words come just days after Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said the Kingdom is ready to kick off talks with both OPEC and non-OPEC members in order to revive oil prices.Talks on a production freeze between Russia, OPEC, and other oil producers collapsed in April, after Saudi Arabia demanded that rival Iran be included in the deal. Tehran ruled out cutting production at the time, as it aimed to return to its pre-sanction production level of four million bpd.
 
An informal meeting of the world’s largest oil producing countries is scheduled for late September in Algeria.

Switzerland tops 2016 global innovation index www.nhk.or.jp

A UN organization has placed Switzerland at the top of its list of the most innovative countries. Japan came sixteenth.
 
The World Intellectual Property Organization, or WIPO, ranks the innovation performance of countries and territories every year based on the number of patents and other indicators.
 
This year's ranking was released by the United Nations Office at Geneva on Monday.
 
Switzerland topped the list for the 6th consecutive year. WIPO said a number of new products and services created through innovation have led to the country's economic growth.
 
Sweden came second, and Britain third. Singapore was ranked sixth, the highest among Asian countries.
 
Japan came in 16th place. WIPO officials said that Japan, despite boasting a high level of research and development quality and holding many patents, failed to create new products and services.
 
China climbed to 25th place, a record for the country.
 
The officials said creating new services by combining multiple technologies is more likely to result in economic growth than by developing totally new ones.

Russia set to become world’s biggest wheat exporter www.rt.com

Wheat exports from Russia are expected to outpace the European Union this year, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which projects that Russia will become the world's top exporter for the first time.Russia’s exports are expected to grow by 4.5 million tons for 2016/17 to a record 30 million tons thanks to a sharp production increase, the report says.
 
The wheat crop rose by 7 million tons to a record 72 million amid excellent growing conditions across the country as well as harvest reports showing very high yields.According to USDA statistics, EU exports this year will decrease by 7 million tons to 27 million from July through August due to a significant drop in French crops following a season of excessive rain.
 
US wheat exports are expected to rise by 700,000 tons to 25.5 million tons on projections of improved competitive conditions due to a sharp reduction in the EU which will benefit suppliers from North America, the report said.
 
Ukraine has also enjoyed good harvest reports and favorable weather, boosting the projected exports by 2 million tons. Australia, Canada, and Kazakhstan are each expected to increase exports by 1 million tons, all due to increased production.
 
However, all the calculations were based on ‘ideal’ conditions, such as good weather for wheat loading and steady supplies, according to USDA.
 
The report added that global demand is outpacing supply.
 
“Global use is up 3.2 million tons led by a million-ton increase in Russia feed use, an 800,000-ton increase in the US, and a 400,000-ton increase in Afghanistan,” the USDA reported.

Germans should have to work until 69, says Bundesbank www.bbc.com

Elderly Germans may have to keep working until the age of 69 if a Bundesbank proposal is adopted.

It says Berlin should consider raising the retirement age to that level by 2060, from around 65 at the moment.

The central bank says that otherwise the country may struggle to honour its pension commitments.

It points out that the state pension system is in good financial health at present, but will come under pressure in coming decades.

The Bundesbank says that as baby-boomers - those born in the post-World War Two period - retire, there will be fewer younger workers to replace them.

'Step by step'

The retirement age for Germans is set to rise gradually to 67 by 2030.

However, the bank believes that from 2050 this increase will not be enough for the German government to keep state pensions at their target level of at least 43% of the average income.

It is therefore proposing pushing the retirement age up to 69.

"Further changes are unavoidable to secure the financial sustainability (of the state pension system)," the Bundesbank said in its monthly report.

But German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said they stood by retirement at 67.

"Retirement at 67 is a sensible and necessary measure given the demographic development in Germany. That's why we will implement it as we agreed - step by step," he added.
