(Corrects paragraph 3 per centage rise to 1.9 per cent, not 1.8 per cent)
TOKYO, Aug 21 : – Japan’s core consumer prices rose 1.8 per cent in July from a year earlier, government data showed on Friday.
The core consumer price index, which includes oil products but excludes fresh food prices, compared with economists’ median estimate for a 1.8 per cent annual gain.
Stripping away the effect of fresh food and energy, consumer prices rose 1.9 per cent in July from a year ago.
