Japanese wholesale prices rose 3.4 percent in August from a year earlier, matching JulyÂs rise, which was the fastest pace of growth in more than 25 years, and signaling that inflationary pressure is gradually building on high oil prices. But the data is unlikely to heighten expectations of an early interest rate increase by the Bank of Japan because consumer price growth remains subdued, with companies still reluctant to fully pass on rising raw material costs to consumers. The 3.4 percent rise in the corporate goods price index matched economistsÂ consensus forecast as well as the year-to-year rise in July, which was the largest since March 1981, the Bank of Japan said.

Polandâs central bank unexpectedly raised its benchmark interest rate, for a second time this year, on concern that wage growth will force companies to increase prices. The Monetary Policy Council, which is led by the central bank, lifted the seven-day reference rate a quarter-point, to 4.5 percent. âIt is possible that wage pressure will continue to grow, strengthening inflation pressure,â the council said after the meeting. It said inflation might temporarily slow in the third quarter, helped by the healthy financial standing of companies and growing competition among service providers and goods producers. The inflation rate, at 2.3 percent in May, is nearing the central bankâs mid-range target rate of 2.5 percent.
