Tokyo Ward-Area CPI, Advance

Tokyo Consumer Price Inflation, Monthly

Tokyo Against the National Index

The Tokyo ward-area advance beside the national index, on the measure and range chosen above. Tokyo is published about three weeks earlier and runs one month ahead of the country. It is a tenth of the national basket, heavier on rent and lighter on food, so it leads the national figure without predicting it.

Contributions to Headline Inflation

Each bar splits headline year-over-year inflation into the percentage-point contribution of the major expenditure groups; the line is headline CPI itself. The five largest current contributors are shown separately, the rest are bundled.

Major Expenditure Groups

Breadth of Price Increases

Computed over the individually priced items of the Tokyo detailed-item table, one month ahead of the national reading: the share whose price is up at least 2% on a year earlier, and the share falling. Broad inflation means most items rising, not a few large movers.
