"The Consumer Price Index, which measures inflation, increased by 11.28 per cent year-on-year in September 2018".

The consumer price index (CPI) rose 2.5 percent from a year earlier, in line with expectations of 2.5 percent and accelerating from August' s 2.3 percent gain.
Extreme typhoon weather lashed southern China last month, bringing strong winds and heavy rain, and badly affecting agricultural production, it added.
Adding to the strain on consumers, the cost of diesel and gas jumped more than 20 per cent on previous year. "This rise in the food index was caused by increases in prices of Potatoes, yams and other tubers, vegetables, fruits, meat, milk, cheese and egg, Bread and cereals, and Fish".
If China goes ahead with a 15 per cent tariff on US$60 billion United States goods, it could lead to a one-time impact of a 0.2-0.3 percentage point gain on China's consumer inflation, according to estimates from Morgan Stanley.
Yet, few expect the overall inflation picture to prevent further policy support for the economy.
