Japan's economy holds steady at half-year mark despite Trump tariffs
The Japanese economy grew at a better than expected 1% annual pace in the last quarter, boosted by exports that held up despite US President Donald Trump's higher tariffs. The US has imposed a 15% tax on imports from Japan. That's higher than before for some products but down from the 25% tariff Trump announced earlier. Real gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the total value of a nation's goods and services, expanded 0.3% in the fiscal first quarter compared to the previous quarter, beating analysts' estimates. It was Japan's fifth straight quarter of growth. Tourism boosts Japanese economy Japan's exports grew 2.0% in the period, according to preliminary data from the Cabinet Office. A 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most goods and most trading partners enabled companies to rush some exports to try and beat the higher import duties. But the 15% tariffs took effect as of last week, closing that window. A surge in visits by foreign tourists has also helped, though it has also raised resentment among some Japanese upset over various aspects of dealing with outsiders. Apart from exports, capital investment rose 1.3% from a year earlier, helping to drive faster growth. But consumer spending remained relatively weak, growing just 0.2%. Prices rise but wage growth slows Prices have been rising steadily while wages have stagnated. The stronger than expected economic performance in the last quarter raises the likelihood that Japan's central bank may push ahead with raising its benchmark interest rate from its longstanding level near zero to help cap inflation. The higher tariffs that Trump has imposed to try to get companies to increase manufacturing in the United States have added to pressure on Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who is facing calls to resign after the ruling Liberal Democrats and their coalition partner, Komeito, failed to win majorities in both houses of the parliament.

Singapore to sell Hermes bags and gold bars seized from launderers
Home › News › Industry Published August 12, 2025 Download Print Published August 12, 2025 Singapore is set to sell an eye-watering variety of luxury items confiscated from money launderers who were convicted in the country's biggest laundering case. Singapore will sell an array of luxury items confiscated from money launderers - Shotheby's The local unit of consulting firm Deloitte has been appointed to manage the process of selling the non-cash assets, according to a statement on Tuesday by the police, who added they handed over more than 460 pieces of luxury goods and 58 pieces of gold bars to the firm this week. The items are among a broader haul of assets, including upscale real estate, cars and cash, seized in connection with the S$3 billion ($2.3 billion) scandal that broke two years ago. The gold bars, jade necklaces and over 10 luxury watches from brands like Richard Mille and Patek Philippe were displayed in a publicised handover. The event also featured dozens of luxury handbags including Hermes handbags and a limited-edition yellow pumpkin shaped Louis Vuitton bag created in collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Since the scandal, Singapore has moved to stem the fallout with authorities imposing financial penalties on several of the world's biggest banks for lapses related to the case. Private bankers have also been charged for their alleged involvement in the scandal. The government has proposed to strip money launderers of directorships and probed law firms embroiled in the previously kickstarted the process to sell the seized assets — which amounted to about S$2.79 billion at the end of 2024. While the bulk of it was in the form of cash and financial assets, numerous properties, vehicles and country club memberships have been sold. The proceeds are put in a de-facto bank account of the Singapore government. Copyright Bloomberg Tags : Luxury Accessories Industry Fashion Jobs : LOUIS VUITTON
