According to a report released by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on the 19th, Japan's core consumer price index after removing fresh food rose 3.0% year on year to 112.5 in November this year, rising year on year for 51 consecutive months. Food was the main reason prices continued to rise in November. Furthermore, prices for housing repairs, electricity, car-related expenses, communication expenses, and hotel accommodations all showed year-on-year increases. As the fiscal policy implemented by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi intensified the depreciation of the yen, Japanese media and experts are concerned that its policies will further push prices up in Japan. Some analysts pointed out that Japan's core inflation rate was higher than the 2% target set by the Bank of Japan for the 44th month in a row. This data further strengthened the market's expectations that the Bank of Japan would soon raise interest rates.
