There
is
some
87.5%
of
Japanese
households
expecting
a
rise
in
prices
in
a
year
from
now:

That
is
up
from
the
83.3%
share
from
the
previous
survey
in
March
this
year.

Meanwhile,
the
outlook
for
economic
conditions
show
just
~8%
of
households
anticipating
an
improvement
in
the
economy
in
a
year
from
now.
That
is
down
from
the
~14%
in
March.
That
said,
this
figure
tends
to
fluctuate
quite
a
bit
with
it
being
~8%
as
well
in
December
last
year
and
at
~11%
in
September
last
year.

But
overall,
it
seems
like
the
public
opinion
is
that
they
are
feeling
prices
have
been
trending
higher.
And
they
are
continuing
to
anticipate
that
to
be
the
case
in
the
next
year
as
well.
