According to recent data, Japan’s core inflation in September has dropped below the 3% mark for the first time in more than a year. This indicates that the pressure of rising costs is starting to ease. The slowdown in core inflation suggests that there may be a decrease in the costs of goods and services in the country.
This development could potentially have positive effects on the Japanese economy. A decline in inflation means that consumers would have more purchasing power as prices stabilize or even decrease. It could also provide relief for businesses that have been dealing with higher costs. However, policymakers might need to monitor the situation closely to ensure that the drop in inflation does not lead to deflation, which can have negative consequences for the economy.
