The previous indicator had stopped at a 0.1% change in March 2024, while the current indicator showed a slight uptick to 0.3% in April 2024.

The CPI is a key indicator of inflation that measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services over time. With the latest figures showing a modest increase, economists will be watching closely to assess the impact on the overall economy and the potential implications for monetary policy in China. As the world's second-largest economy, changes in China's CPI can have ripple effects on global markets, making this update an important development for investors and policymakers alike.
