Japan nears deflation as core
CPI hits 0% -------------- Japanese core consumer price index, which
includes energy but excludes food, fell to a year-on-year reading of zero in
February. That follows a figure of 0.2 per cent in January. Collapsing oil
prices and subdued demand have again thrown Japan to the brink of deflation,
despite the world’s biggest monetary stimulus
programme. 日本接近通縮邊緣 -------------- 今年2月,,日本的核心消費(fèi)物價同比上漲率滑落至0%,,低于1月份的0.2%,。所謂核心消費(fèi)物價上漲率,,是指將食品排除在外,、并將能源計(jì)算在內(nèi)的通脹率。盡管日本推出了全球規(guī)模最大的貨幣刺激計(jì)劃,,但油價崩盤及需求低迷還是讓日本再次滑向通縮邊緣,。
