Japan's number three automaker, in which France's Renault has a 44-percent stake, said it performed better than expected thanks to brisk growth in China and government incentives for people to buy new cars during the recession.
Nissan, which is axing 20,000 jobs to cope with the global economic crisis, logged a net profit of 9.0 billion yen (100 million dollars) for the six months to September, against a year-earlier profit of 126.3 billion yen.
