Hanoi’s consumer price index (CPI) in October increased 0.57 percent against the previous month and 6.89 percent year-on-year.
According to the Municipal Statistics Office, the increase was attributed to price hikes in eight out of eleven baskets of commodities.
The highest price rise, 1.01 percent, was recorded in restaurant services.
The prices of housing, power, water and fuel rose by 0.7 percent due to the change in the price of clean water from October 1.
Meanwhile, the telecommunication and education sectors did not experience any price hike.
This month, transportation was the only sector to record price decreases, at 0.24 percent.
As a result, the city’s CPI in the first ten months of this year increased 6.25 percent over the same period last year.
The increase was recorded in 10 out of 11 groups of commodities, with the exception falling in the postal service-telecommunication group, which dropped by 0.18 percent.-VNA
