Japan's annual inflation rate eased to 2.7% in August 2025 from 3.1% in the previous month, marking the lowest reading since October 2024.
The slowdown was driven mainly by more significant drops in electricity prices, thanks to government subsidies, and a fall in gas prices.
Inflation accelerated for housing, clothing, transport, communications, and miscellaneous goods.
On the food side, prices rose 7.2%, easing from July’s five-month peak of 7.6%, driven by the smallest gain in rice prices in eight months amid Tokyo’s ongoing efforts to curb staple food costs.
Core inflation, which excludes fresh food but includes energy, also stood at 2.7% annually, matching market expectations and reaching a nine-month low.
On a monthly basis, the CPI edged up 0.1%, holding steady for the third straight month.
