In October, regular workers in Japan experienced a significant increase in base salaries, reaching the highest level since 1994.
This rise in base pay suggests a positive shift in the economic cycle and may lead to speculation about a potential interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan.
Furthermore, real cash earnings remained stable, avoiding a decline for the first time in three months, which exceeded economists' expectations.
These findings indicate a strengthening labor market and could impact future monetary policy decisions.
