# Source Document Not Available

The source document for the Japan Inflation Rate (February 2026) could not be retrieved from the official Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (Statistics Bureau) website.

**Reason:** 
According to the official [Schedule of Release](https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/cpi/1582.html) on the Statistics Bureau of Japan website, the National CPI results for the survey month of **February 2026** are scheduled for release on **March 24, 2026**. 

As the current timestamp is March 23, 2026 (23:52 UTC), the official publication has not yet been uploaded to the primary domain (`stat.go.jp`). While secondary aggregator sources (e.g., TradingEconomics) may have preliminary or leaked figures (1.3% Actual vs 1.5% Previous), the mandatory requirement for this task is to retrieve the **single source publication** from the institutional domain.

**Indicators requested:**
