Vietnam’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 3.77% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2024 due to rising prices for domestic rice and services such as electricity, water, education and healthcare.
The consumer price index (CPI) in February rose 1.04% against January and 3.98% year-on-year, fueled by high consumer demand for Lunar New Year holiday and a surge in rice prices, the General Statistics Office said on February 29.
