January 9, Fineko/abc.az. In December 2025, annual inflation in China rose to 0.8%, the highest since the beginning of 2023, but was below market expectations.

ABC.AZ informs that the price increase continues for the third month in a row, mainly due to an increase in food prices (+1.1%), especially vegetables and fruits. Core inflation remained at 1.2% - the highest in 20 months.

At the same time, producer prices decreased by 1.9% year-on-year, indicating continued pressure in industry, although the rate of decline is slowing. In 2025, inflation remained close to zero and did not reach the target level of 2%, and production prices fell by 2.6%.
