Tokyo's 23 District October Consumer Price Index Rises 3.4%, Highest Level in 33 Years

The October consumer price index in Tokyo's 23 District rose 3.4% compared to the same month last year, excluding fresh food, which fluctuates greatly depending on the weather. The 3.4% rise will be the first in 33 years since October 1989, and the highest level in 40 years and four months since June 1982, excluding the effects of the consumption tax hike.

Prices continue to rise, mainly due to rising prices of food, electricity, and gas.
