Barclays:
- We estimate that real GDP growth slowed versus Q2, but remained above potential, extending Japan's recovery to a seventh consecutive quarter.
- This assumes the contribution of net exports to q/q growth bounced back (our estimate: 0.4pp), while consumption fell (our estimate: 0.4% q/q) after spiking in Q2 (0.8% q/q).
HSBC:
- We estimate that real GDP increased 0.4% q-o-q sa in Q3 2017, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of q-o-q growth.
- The BoJ's September Tankan survey suggests that real economic activity remained firm, supported by ongoing strength in exports on the back of the global economic recovery.
