Japan's Consumer Price Index (CPI), not seasonally adjusted, slowed significantly in June 2025, with the month-over-month growth rate reaching only 0.1%. This marked a decline from the previous month, May 2025, when the CPI rose by 0.3%, according to the latest data update on July 17, 2025.
The change from a 0.3% increase in May to a mere 0.1% rise in June indicates a notable slowdown in price growth, reflecting a stabilization in consumer prices across Japan. This deceleration in the CPI could be seen as an indication of easing inflation pressures, which may impact future monetary policy decisions.
Economists and market analysts continue to monitor these CPI figures closely, as they provide crucial insights into the country's economic health and consumer purchasing power. It remains to be seen how this trend will evolve in the coming months and what implications it might have for Japan's broader economic outlook.
