While 月毎の readings have been 刻々と 落ちるing - other than in December 2023 when 消費者物価指数 rose from 3.9 per cent to 4 per cent - it is much slower than 心配するd.

核心 インフレーション remains sticky at 4.2 per cent and there is 関心 that インフレーション could follow the US and soon 立ち往生させる.

経済学者s at 資本/首都 経済的なs said: ‘After two months of downside surprises, the 落ちる in 消費者物価指数 インフレーション in March was smaller than everyone had 推定する/予想するd. There were no real surprises in energy prices, with 燃料 price インフレーション rising from -6.5 per cent to -3.7 per cent.
