BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Consumer inflation in China eased more than expected in September, while producer prices fell for the forty-third straight month.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Wednesday that the consumer price index rose 1.6 percent in September compared to a year ago, down from August's 2 percent rise.
The producer price index fell 5.9 percent from a year ago, in line with expectations and the same rate of decline as in August. This was the biggest drop since the depths of the 2009 global financial crisis.
