Inflation in China slowed slightly during October, in light of the effect of weak domestic demand on prices in the second largest economy in the world, despite the rise in producer costs due to the rise in energy prices.
The consumer price index rose by 0.7% compared to a year last month, compared to an increase of 0.9% in September.
In contrast, the producer price index increased by 5.7% year-on-year, compared to a 5% increase in the previous month.
