The February consumer price index (CPI) inched up 0.42 percent month on month and 1.27 percent year on year, mainly driven by high food demand during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained unchanged in January compared to the previous month, the General Statistics Office (GSO) said on January 24.
