Chinese inflation remains unchanged in January
The consumer price index in China remained fully unchanged in January of this year, staying at 2.5% on the annual basis. Economists expected a CPI decrease to 2.4%. Moreover, a considerable jump of 3.7% in food prices on Christmas and New Year celebrations did not influence the overall inflation indicator. Alongside, factory prices in the country were up only 1.6%.
