日本東京地區12月CPI因能源補貼逐漸取消創下今年最大增幅

日本總務省公布12月東京地區的消費者物價指數(CPI),日本通膨的領先指標–東京CPI因持續受能源補貼取消的影響,在12月創下全年最高增幅。 根據日本總務省於 12/27 公布的數據顯示,日本東京地區12月 CPI 年增3.0%,較前一期大幅上升0.5個百分點,為今年最大增幅。本次上升除了受能源補貼政策逐漸取消的影響之外,生鮮食品也在12月大幅走升,年增達17.9%(前9.7%),其中米類的價格更是大幅飆升,其年增達62.9%(前64.2%)。 剔除生鮮食品的核心 CPI 年增為 2.4%,較前一個月增加0.2個百分點。而進一步剔除能源的雙核心 CP I 年增則為1.8%,較前一個月下滑0.1個百分點。 而日本央行高度關注的服務價格年增為1.0%,較前一期上升0.1個百分點,連續第三個月走升,反映出在薪資持續成長的前景下使企業不斷推高服務價格。 在12/25時,日本央行行長植田和男公開表示若經濟與物價持續改善的話、就會調升政策利率,調整貨幣寬鬆程度。他進一步補充表示,若在經濟與物價改善的狀況下維持低利率,那麼貨幣寬鬆的程度可能會變得「過度」。 而在被問到切確的升息時間點時,植田和男再次重申前面所說的話,並表示日本經濟當前的關鍵點就是明年3-4月的春鬥談判動向,而海外的部分就是下任美國總統川普的經濟政策動向。 雖然在12月的央行會議中,植田和男明確表示下次升息的時機點取決於國內薪資發展的狀況,使市場大幅推延日本央行下次升息的時間點延後至明年3月之後。不過,從東京地區12月的通膨數據以及植田和男在12/25的發言來看,日本央行仍有可能會在明年1月就實施升息。 Read more at Datatrack
