In 2024, Japan had an average inflation rate estimated at 2.74 percent, marking the highest rate of inflation in Japan in almost a decade. However, this figure was still very low compared to most other major economies, such as Japan's fellow G7 members, four of which had inflation rates around six or seven percent in 2023 due to the global inflation crisis. Why is Japan's inflation rate lower? There are a number of contributing factors to Japan's relatively low inflation rate, even during economic crises. Japan eased its Covid restrictions more slowly than most other major economies, this prevented post-pandemic consumer spending that may have driven inflation through supply chain issues caused by higher demand. As the majority of Japan's food and energy comes from overseas, and has done so for decades, the government has mechanisms in place to prevent energy and wheat prices from rising too quickly. Because of this, Japan was able to shield its private sector from many of the negative knock on effects from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which had a significant impact on both sectors globally. Persistent deflation and national debt An additional factor that has eased the impact of inflation on Japan's economy is the fact that it experienced deflation before the pandemic. Deflation has been a persistent problem in Japan since the asset price bubble burst in 1992, and has been symptomatic of Japan's staggering national debt thereafter. For almost 30 years, a combination of quantitative easing, low interest rates (below 0.5 percent since 1995, and at -0.1% since 2016), and a lack of spending due to low wages and an aging population have combined to give Japan the highest national debt in the world in absolute terms, and second-highest debt in relation to its GDP, after Venezuela. Despite this soaring debt, Japan remains the fourth-largest economy in the world, behind the U.S., China, and Germany.

In the fiscal year 2023, the Japanese construction cost deflator for buildings stood at ***** index points, increasing from ***** points in the previous year. The construction cost deflator is a weighted index estimating the inflation-adjusted price development of construction in Japan, considering expenditures for materials, labor, and investment. What are features of the construction cost deflator? Since 1951, the government has been compiling a deflator for construction costs. It helps, for example, to determine contract prices for public works like roads. Today’s version includes various sub-indices, such as the one for buildings; they may be residential or non-residential, and their structural frames may be either wood, steel, or reinforced concrete. While the deflator considers all of Japan, other price indices give more detailed insight into specific buildings, materials, and regions. Rising energy-prices have spilled over to materials Japan has not been spared by recently inflating energy prices. Accordingly, the domestic construction industry is monitoring the monthly construction material price index. Unlike the deflator, it also provides regional-specific data, showing that although inflation impacted all materials throughout the country, some materials and places were more affected than others. In Tokyo, cement prices have increased by over ** points since fiscal year 2021 – in Osaka, by around **.
