10月份中国CPI上涨0.2%

BEIJING, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, was up 0.2 percent year on year in October 2025, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed Sunday.

北京新华社11月9日电国家统计局周日公布的数据显示，2025年10月，中国的消费者价格指数（CPI），通货膨胀的主要指标，同比上涨0.2%。

On a monthly basis, the CPI also rose 0.2 percent last month, according to this data.

根据这一数据，上个月CPI也上涨了0.2%。

The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased by 1.2 percent year on year -- marking the sixth consecutive month of acceleration in growth pace.

核心CPI（不包括食品和能源价格）同比增长1.2%，标志着连续六个月的增长加速。

NBS statistician Dong Lijuan attributed the consumer price increase last month to the continued effects of policies to expand domestic demand, coupled with the boosting impact of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday period.

国家统计局统计师董莉娟将上月居民消费价格上涨归因于扩大内需政策的持续效应，加上国庆、中秋假期的提振影响。

Sunday's data also revealed that the producer price index, which measures costs for goods at the factory gate -- went down 2.1 percent year on year in October.

周日公布的数据还显示，衡量出厂商品成本的生产者价格指数在10月份同比下降2.1%。
