Statistics bureau to release key economic data
The National Bureau of Statistics will release the economic data for April on Wednesday, including those related to the consumer price index and the producer price index. The CPI is the main gauge of inflation, while the PPI indicates changes in wholesale prices, and a decline can reflect deflation in the industrial sector. The CPI last month is expected to rise by 1.1 percent year-on-year due to rising nonfood prices, according to a forecast from the Bank of Communications.
