Hechi's prices increase in March

Hechi’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) of March increased 1.2 percent compared to the same period last year, with a growth rate of 0.4 percent more than February, according to the National Statistics Bureau.

The chain relative ratio of Hechi’s poultry and related products decreased 3.8 percent in March. The main reason was that the demanded quantity of meat products showed some degree of decline after the Spring Festival. The prices of fresh vegetables also decreased 1.5 percent for the same reason compared with February.

However, the clothing prices increased with the successive listing of spring clothes. Gasoline and diesel prices increased 5.9 percent and 6.6 percent respectively since February.
