In October 2025, Japan experienced a 2.7% year-over-year increase in producer prices, a slight decrease from the 2.8% reported in September, which was marginally revised. This rise, however, surpassed market expectations, which were set at 2.5%. On a month-to-month basis, producer prices climbed by 0.4%, falling just short of analysts' predictions of a 0.5% increase, marking the second consecutive month of rising prices.
