TOKYO - Japan's economy grew 0.6 percent in the second quarter, slightly lower than the market consensus of 0.7 percent growth but it still notched up the longest expansion in more than a decade, official data showed Friday.
The finalised figure -- revised down from an initial 1.0 percent growth estimate for April-June -- was the sixth straight quarter of growth in the longest string of gains since 2006.
