Japan's national CPI excluding fresh food drops to an annual rate of -0.1% in August

Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications released its inflation data on late Thursday evening. Japan's national consumer price index (CPI) remained unchanged at an annual rate of 0.2% in August.

Japan's national CPI excluding fresh food declined to an annual rate of -0.1% in August from 0.0% in July, in line with expectations.

The decline was driven by fuel prices and communication prices. Fuel prices dropped 5.9% year-on-year in August, while communication prices declined 2.7%.
