统计数据显示 我国2月份CPI同比涨幅回落至0.8%

China's consumer price index (CPI) grew 0.8% year on year in February, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Thursday.

国家统计局上周四公布的数据显示，2月份，全国居民消费价格指数(CPI)同比上涨0.8%。

It was substantially lower than the growth of 2.5% in January.

该涨幅比上月大幅回落1.7个百分点。

On a monthly basis, the CPI declined 0.2%. The NBS attributed the weakening CPI to sharply lowering food prices, which fell 4.3% in February.

从环比看，2月份CPI下降0.2%。国家统计局将CPI下降归因于食品价格的明显回落，2月份食品价格下降了4.3%。

"As the travel season has ended, the number of tourists declined in February, bringing down the costs of tourist services, which partly explains the lower CPI," the NBS said.

国家统计局称：“随着旅游季的结束，2月旅游人数减少，使得旅游相关服务价格出现回落，是CPI下降的部分原因。”

The producer price index (PPI) rose 7.8% year on year in February, increasing from 6.9% in January.

2月份，工业生产者出厂价格指数(PPI)同比上涨7.8%，涨幅比1月份扩大0.9个百分点。

The PPI hit its highest level since 2008, largely as a result of government measures to trim excessive industrial capacity.

政府采取措施削减过剩工业产能是PPI创下2008年以来最高水平的主要原因。
