University of Tokyo, Nikkei to offer daily CPI data

Interesting:

• The University of Tokyo and Nikkei Digital Media will work together to provide daily consumer price index information
• The index will be based on the prices of some 200 goods, including food and commodities, at roughly 300 supermarkets across Japan
• It will cover 20% of the items used in the Ministry for Internal Affairs and Communications’ consumer price index
• The daily index will be released with a lag of two trading days, making it easier to grasp future trends

This compares to official inflation data in Japan, which is released monthly.

I wonder if Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Kuroda will get a ticker installed so he can watch it each day?
