McDonald’s joins inflation drive in Japan
By Ben McLannahan and Nobuko Juji in Tokyo
McDonald’s is doing its bit for Japan’s drive to push up inflation by raising the cost of its hamburgers, risking a backlash from customers in a country where incomes rarely rise.
In a statement on Thursday, the Japanese affiliate of the US fast-food giant said the price of a hamburger would go up to Y120 ($1.22) from Y100 from next month at its 3,300 restaurants around the country, while a cheeseburger would cost Y150, up from Y120.
