　総務省が１９日発表した２０２３年度平均の全国消費者物価指数（２０年＝１００）は、価格変動の大きい生鮮食品を除く総合指数が１０５．９と、前年度比２．８％上昇した。プラスは３年連続。伸び率は前年度（３．０％）より低下したが、日銀が物価上昇目標とする２％は２年連続で上回った。
　生鮮食品を除く食料は７．５％上昇で、伸びは前年度（５．４％）より加速。１９７５年度（１１．４％）以来、４８年ぶりの高い伸びとなった。飼料価格の高騰などで乳卵類や肉類が値上がりしたほか、菓子類、調理食品など幅広い品目で上昇した。
　宿泊料は２５．５％上昇。インバウンド（訪日客）の増加などが影響した。（2024/04/19-11:02）

Japan's core consumer prices in fiscal 2023 grew 2.8 pct from the previous year, rising for the third straight year on higher food prices, government data showed Friday.
   The core consumer price index, which excludes often volatile fresh food prices, averaged 105.9 in the year that ended last month, against the base year of 2020, the internal affairs ministry said.
   The core CPI growth exceeded the Bank of Japan's 2 pct inflation target for the second successive year, although the pace of increase slowed from the previous year's 3.0 pct.
   Growth in prices of food excluding perishables accelerated to 7.5 pct from 5.4 pct, posting the fastest increase since 11.4 pct in fiscal 1975.
   Prices of milk and eggs surged in response to higher feed prices. Many other food items marked price rises, including confectionery and prepared food.
