The Japanese economy grew much slower than expected in the three months to June, confounding hopes that the figures would be revised up sharply.
The government said the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.3% in the quarter, well down on the preliminary estimate of 1.7%.
Compared with the three months to March, growth was 0.3% compared with the initially reported figure of 0.4%, the Cabinet Office said.
It added that a drop in private sector inventories cut 0.3 percentage points off gross domestic product growth, compared with the preliminary estimate of no effect.
Many economists had expected an upward GDP revision after the finance ministry said on Monday that capital expenditure by non-financial Japanese companies in April-June grew 10.7% from a year earlier.
