报告显示，食品价格大幅上涨仍是日本物价上涨的最主要原因。当月，谷物、点心、肉类、饮料等食品 价格全面上涨，其中普通粳米价格同比涨幅高达89.9%。此外，手机通信费和酒店住宿费同比分别上涨 11.8%和6.0%。 日本总务省22日公布的报告显示，该国今年7月去除生鲜食品后的核心消费价格指数（CPI）同比上升 3.1%至111.6，涨幅连续8个月在3%以上。 报告还显示，7月核心消费价格指数涨幅较上月有所回落。这主要是因为政府对汽油零售价、夏季电费 和燃气费实施补贴一定程度上抑制了物价上涨。 经济学家指出，考虑到日本实际工资同比下降等因素，日本要实现工资与物价上涨的良性循环恐仍需时 间。 （文章来源：新华社） ...
