Japan data – Real wages down 2.5% y/y in March, down for 24 consecutive months

Japan March wages data:

  • total cash earnings +0.6% y/y (expected +1.5%, prior +1.8%)
  • overtime pay -1.5% y/y
  • real wages -2.5% y/y

Don’t spend it all at once … oh wait, there isn’t any

The Bank of Japan is awaiting a wage-price inflation spiral. Perhaps when wage rises kick in this data will give them some hope of this.
