Japan's economy surprisingly shrank this quarter instead of getting revived, prompting a delay in the country's tax hike and a possible snap election.
Japan's gross domestic product (GDP) fell 1.6% in the July-September period, even with predictions of a rise. The previous quarter marked a 7% contraction which was the most drastic fall since 2011.
