Actual wages in Japan hit a 9-year low, and the Bank of Japan’s policy may be difficult to turn around.
日本实际工资降幅创9年新高 日本央行政策或难转向
According to data released by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on the 7th, due to the impact of high inflation, Japan’s real wages in January fell by 4.1% year-on-year after deducting the inflation factor, marking the largest decline in nearly nine years for the tenth consecutive month. Analysts believe that the continuous decline in wages indicates that the Bank of Japan is still far from tightening its loose monetary policy.
日本厚生劳动省７号公布的数据显示，受通胀高企影响，扣除物价上涨因素后，１月日本实际工资收入同比下降４.１％，连续１０个月同比下降，创近９年来最大降幅。分析认为，工资水平不断下降，表明日本央行距离收紧宽松的货币政策依然遥远。
