Japan exports rose slightly slower than expected in July, raising doubts about the prospects for an economy that is just beginning to recover at a rapid pace, official data showed.
Finance Ministry data indicated that Japanese 's exports rose 10.3 percent year-on-year in July, for the eighth consecutive month, below the median market expectation of an 11.4 percent increase. Sales increased due to a weaker yen compared to a 5.4 percent rise in June.
