The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose by 1.2% year-on-year, expanding for the 6th consecutive month. Pang Ming, a senior researcher at the National Finance and Development Laboratory, told reporters that the price data for October reflects a steady increase in China's economic vitality and the continuous release of domestic demand potential. The improvement in price data indicators is comprehensive, stable, and better than seasonal levels, reflecting further smooth circulation of the economy and improvement in growth quality.
