The Bank of Japan's Research and Statistics Department releases "Consumption Activity Index" on a regular basis. In light of the revision of the GDP statistics to the 2020 base year and changes in economic structure in recent years, the estimation methods for the index were reviewed.

Revised data are published on the "Consumption Activity Index" page of the Bank's website. For further details on the revision, see the following paper: Takata, Ozaki, Nakazawa, Noro, and Kato, "Revision of the Consumption Activity Index Following the 2020 Base Revision of GDP Statistics," Bank of Japan Research Papers, April 2026.
