As reported by the General Statistics Office, Vietnam’s consumer price index (or CPI) slightly went up 0.07 percent month-on-month in August due to the impacts of heavy rainfalls nationwide and rise in domestic rice and education service prices. The figure was down 0.12 percent from December and up 3.18 percent annually.
The consumer price index (CPI) climbed 3.85 percent year-on-year between January and September, the highest nine-month CPI growth over the last five years, the General Statistics Office reported.
