Selon les provisional estimates contained in graph 1 of the press release, the gross domestic product (GDP) in the OECD area grew by 0.5% in the third quarter of 2024, up slightly from 0.4% in the previous quarter cede . the overall GDP growth rate in the G7 area remained unchanged in Q3 2024, at 0.5%, reflecting a contrasting situation among G7 countries. While growth in the United States remained stable in Q3, at 0.7%, it slowed in Canada and Japan (from 0.5% in Q2 to 0.2% in Q3 in both countries), in the United Kingdom (from 0.5% to 0.1%) and in Italy (from 0.2% to 0.1%), and in Italy (from 0.2% to 0.0%).

In Japan, the slowdown is explained by contractions in investments (-0.3% in Q3, compared to 1.6% in the second) and services exports (-4.2%, against 9.4%), the latter being mainly due to a drop in tourism. The decrease in growth is linked to a negative contribution from foreign trade (exports minus imports) in Italy and mainly reflects a decrease in value added in agriculture, forestry and fishing, as well as in industry.
