Japan: hold my beer

Over the past 50 years, Japan's Consumer Price Index (CPI) has displayed a mixed trend, with periods of deflation, low inflation, and more recently, rising inflation.
Key Observations:
Deflationary Period (1990s-2010s):
Japan experienced a prolonged period of deflation following the bursting of the asset bubble in the early 1990s, leading to negative CPI growth for several years. This was accompanied by weak economic growth and chronic demand shortages.
Low Inflation (Post-Deflation):
After the deflationary period, Japan's CPI remained relatively low, with annual changes hovering around 0% or slightly positive.
Recent Rise in Inflation (Post-COVID):
More recently, Japan has seen a rise in inflation, with the CPI moving into positive territory and exceeding the Bank of Japan's 2% target.
Factors Influencing CPI:
Asset Bubble Burst (1990s): The bursting of the asset bubble and the subsequent economic turmoil contributed to the deflationary period.
Global Economic Factors: Events like the oil crisis in the 1970s and the COVID-19 pandemic have also impacted Japan's CPI.
Monetary Policy: The Bank of Japan has used monetary policy tools, including quantitative easing and negative interest rates, to address deflation and stimulate the economy.
Government Subsidies: Changes in government subsidies, such as those for electricity and gas bills, can also impact the CPI.
Historical Highs and Lows:
The CPI has fluctuated significantly over the past 50 years, reaching an all-time high of 24.00% in October 1974 and a record low of -2.40% in October 2009.
