Provisional figures show that gross domestic product (GDP) in the OECD area rose by 0.6% in the third quarter of 2011, against 0.3% in the previous quarter.

This strong growth in Japan followed three consecutive quarters of contraction.

With few exceptions, start-up rates are once again beginning to show signs of a slowdown across the OECD.
