# Japan household spending drops more than expected in September

> Japanese household spending fell 6.8% year over year in September, its tenth consecutive monthly decline and the largest drop since September 2020; the result was worse than the 3.1% decline economists expected. Seasonally adjusted spending also fell 2.8% month over month, and the data will inform the Bank of Japan’s decisions on further rate increases.
