Economic calendar in Asia Tuesday, February 25, 2025 – Bank of Korea rate cut expected

We get Japan’s services PPI (also known as the Corporate Services Price Index) for January today

The January goods PPI from Japan (also known as the Corporate Goods Price Index) showed a solid rise:

• Japan PPI for January is +4.2%y/y (expected +4.0% prior +3.8%)

While there is no number for expectations printed on the calendar (screenshot below) I have seen a median consensus estimate at 3.1%. Inflation pressure continues in Japan.

A rate cut is expected from the Bank of Korea today.

The numbers in the right-most column are the ‘prior’ (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.
