Description

China Contribution of Food to Monthly CPI Growth is primarily used to measure the contribution of food prices to the overall monthly growth of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It helps assess inflationary pressures from the food category and their impact on the overall inflation rate. A higher contribution indicates greater inflationary pressure from food prices, while a lower contribution suggests milder pressure.

According to the latest data, the month-on-month contribution of China's food prices to CPI in Q3 2026 (July) recorded -0.258 percentage points, narrowing slightly from the previous value of -0.2752 percentage points in Q2 (June). However, food prices remain weak, and the overall CPI year-on-year increase of 0.5% was also below market expectations, indicating that end-consumer demand remains sluggish. The market expects there is still further room for pro-consumption policies to take effect in the second half of the year.
