Japan Core Inflation Rate Accelerates in November
Core consumer prices in Japan increased 0.5% in November 2021 over the same month in the previous year, higher than market expectations for a 0.4% increase and accelerating at its fastest pace in nearly two years. The upward pressure on prices came mainly from a 9.2% annual increase in fuel, light and water charges, confirming signs that soaring energy and raw material prices are pushing more broadly through the Japanese economy and are being felt by consumers. However, Japan’s core inflation rate remains well below the central bank’s 2% target, and still lags behind other advanced economies amid a softer wage growth and weak consumption. The Bank of Japan maintained ultra-loose interest rate policy in its December meeting, and governor Haruhiko Kuroda stressed his readiness to keep rates low, even as other major central banks head for exit from crisis-mode stimulus measures.

Japan Core Inflation Rate Rises for 2nd Month
Core consumer prices in Japan which exclude fresh food increased 0.1% over the same month in the previous year in October 2021, in line with market expectations and following a similar 0.1% rise in the previous month. The upward pressure on prices came mainly from a 6.4% annual increase in fuel, light and water charges, confirming signs that soaring energy and raw material prices are pushing more broadly through the Japanese economy and are being felt by consumers. However, Japan’s core inflation rate remains low compared with other advanced economies amid a softer wage growth and weak consumption. The data will be among the factors that the Bank of Japan will consider in its next policy meeting, which is still far off the central bank’s 2% inflation target as it reaffirmed its commitment to retain easy monetary policies to achieve the target.
