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.
日本接近通缩边缘
--------------
今年2月，日本的核心消费物价同比上涨率滑落至0%，低于1月份的0.2%。所谓核心消费物价上涨率，是指将食品排除在外、并将能源计算在内的通胀率。尽管日本推出了全球规模最大的货币刺激计划，但油价崩盘及需求低迷还是让日本再次滑向通缩边缘。
