The average prices of major food products in 50 Chinese cities rose in late August,data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed Tuesday, fueling concerns ofa rise in inflation.
A total of 17 kinds of food prices rose during the period between August 21 and 30. Forinstance, pork prices rose by 1.2-1.3 percent from the previous 10 days, and eggprices rose by 5.5 percent, the NBS said in a statement on its website.
Analysts expressed concern about the rises, given that food prices account for aweighting of about one-third in China's consumer price index (CPI) calculations.
"The country's economy is recovering slowly, but food prices are rising faster thanexpected, fueling inflationary pressure," Liu Chunge, an analyst at Shandong-basedcommodity consultancy Sublime China Information, told the Global Times.
Liu expects the CPI will rebound to above 2 percent in August, from a 30-month low of1.8 percent in July, limiting the central bank's room for maneuver with regard to apotential cut in the interest rate or banks' reserve requirement ratio.
