JAPAN'S economy expanded by a revised 0.3 per cent in the last quarter of 2016, government data showed on Wednesday, as company investment and a weaker yen propped up growth.

The latest GDP figure was marginally higher than an initial estimate of 0.2 per cent growth in the October-December period, but lower than market expectations for a 0.4 per cent expansion.
