China's consumer price index (CPI), a primary measure of inflation, increased by 0.8% year-on-year in December, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Friday. The figures, published on January 9, 2026, capture economic conditions in the last month of 2025. This modest rise indicates stable price pressures amid ongoing recovery efforts. The National Bureau of Statistics serves as the official source for such metrics, which inform broader economic assessments. While detailed breakdowns are not specified in the available data, the overall CPI growth of 0.8% suggests controlled inflation without immediate concerns.
