Odaily Planet Daily News Data released on Friday showed that Japan's core CPI rose 2.7% in the year to August, still above the Bank of Japan's 2% target, but it was the lowest in nine months, indicating that Japanese households have been relieved from the rising cost of living. The data will be one of the factors that the Bank of Japan carefully reviewed at its two-day meeting ended on Friday. It is widely expected that the Bank of Japan's committee will stabilize interest rates at 0.5% at a meeting. (Jin Shi)
