That\u2019s the lowest figure since September 2021, noted the Trading Economics website which <a href=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/china\/inflation-cpi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quoted<\/a> the data.<\/p>\n<p>The unexpected drop reflects further easing of the costs of both food and non-food items which comes amid an uneven economic recovery after the removal of the government\u2019s zero-Covid policy, the statistical portal highlighted on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/tradingeconomics.com\/embed\/?s=cncpiyoy&amp;v=202304110251v20230410&amp;h=300&amp;w=600&amp;ref=\/china\/inflation-cpi\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Food inflation decreased to 2.4% from 2.6% in February, a 10-month low which is largely due to a decline in the cost of fresh vegetables which turned out to be steeper than the rise of pork meat prices, the analysis shows.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, non-food prices continued to ease as well, from 0.6% to 0.3%, a trend linked to further declines in the cost of transportation (-1.9% compared to 0.1%) and housing (-0.3% versus -0.1%), the report detailed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, education costs increased more than the previous month, at 1.4% in March from 1.2% in February, and inflation remained unchanged for health-related expenses, at 1.0%.<\/p>\n<p>Core consumer prices, excluding the volatile prices of food and energy, went up 0.7% year-over-year, after a 0.6% gain in the previous month, the state statistics office also said. They dropped 0.3% on a monthly basis despite forecasts they would remain flat.<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong stocks jumped following the government report about the slowing price rises.
