Japan's latest average monthly spending for households with two or more people reached 320,345 yen in Q2 2026, down from the previous figure of 328,969 yen. However, the real year-on-year decline narrowed to 0.4%, significantly beating market expectations. Benefiting from the "Shunto" wage increases and core spending items such as food turning from negative to positive, Japan's consumption momentum is gradually stabilizing, indicating that domestic demand has built a certain level of resilience under prolonged inflation.
