Seen as a leading indicator of nationwide trends in Japan, the Tokyo data released on Friday stood below the Bank of Japan's 2-percent target. The acceleration was largely pushed up by utility costs related to renewable energy promotion, as electricity bills increased for the first time in 16 months by rising 13.1 percent year on year. Meanwhile, prices of food excluding fresh items rose 3.2 percent, unchanged from the previous month. Xinhua News Agency correspondent

The initiative artificially reduced consumer prices on a basket of basic necessities over the final three months of 2023.
