More than 70% of Japanese firms are considering price hikes this fiscal year ...Middle East

A growing majority of Japanese companies are preparing to raise prices in the face of rising labour and raw material costs

Of the firms polled, 13% said they had already increased prices in the business year that began April 1, while a further 70% said they are considering doing so. The widespread pricing pressure is likely to increase calls for government support to soften the impact on consumers.

Separately, research from Teikoku Databank shows that over 70% of Japanese companies plan to raise starting monthly salaries for new graduates this year, with the average increase coming in at ¥9,114 (about US$64) compared to last year.

Japanese official, including those at the Bank of Japan, will welcome the enws on rising wages and prices.
