Monitor what is driving inflation in the Japan. Detailed analysis of Japan's official inflation numbers.
Japan CPI (Consumer Price Index) data is collected from the e-Stat Japan official statistics portal and updated with each monthly release. This dashboard tracks Japan inflation using CPI year-over-year (YoY) and a 3-month seasonally adjusted annualized rate (3m SAAR) for a clearer view of both trend and short-term momentum. YoY highlights longer-run inflation dynamics, while 3m SAAR helps detect turning points in Japanese inflation earlier. Data is cleaned and aligned to consistent release dates for accurate time-series comparisons.
