Japan Core Inflation Rate Inches Up
Japan's core consumer prices, which include oil products but exclude fresh food prices, rose 0.5 percent from a year earlier in November 2019, slightly up from a 0.4 percent increase in the prior month, but well below the Bank of Japan's 2 percent target. Stripping away the effect of fresh food and energy, consumer prices rose 0.8 percent, the most since April 2016. The latest figure is a result of an increase in sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent in October, which has pushed prices up but reduced consumer demand, a key driver of inflation.
