The economy grew 3.0 percent in the July-September quarter from the previous three months on an annualised and seasonally adjusted basis, revised final figures from Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) showed. The government's initial estimate, released on October 12, had showed the economy grew 4.7 percent.
