Beijing's CPI in the second quarter is expected to continue to run at a low level
In the first quarter, the city's consumer price (CPI) fell by 0.1% year-on-year, and was generally at a relatively low level.
Among them, the year-on-year growth rate of CPI in January and February was negative, down 0.8 and 0.1 percentage points year-on-year respectively; in March, it turned from negative to positive, up 0.6 percentage point year-on-year.
In this regard, Bian Jing, deputy head of the Beijing Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics, said on April 19 that this was mainly due to the impact of last year's CPI lift-up factor.
He introduced that as the epidemic subsided and the weather turned warmer since the first quarter, food prices in Beijing have dropped significantly.
On the one hand, pork supply capacity has increased, and prices have dropped significantly. On the other hand, southern and northern dishes have been on the market at the same time, and the prices of fresh vegetables have also fallen.
Data show that the prices of pork and fresh vegetables in Beijing in March fell 18.3% and 6.1% year-on-year, respectively.

Affected by the epidemic last year, service prices in Beijing increased at a relatively low level.
At present, with the gradual recovery of consumption, service prices in Beijing have rebounded from the previous month and have risen slightly.
For example, last month, the prices of Beijing air tickets, overseas accommodation and rental housing prices rose by 11.0%, 6.3% and 0.8% respectively.
In addition, he also mentioned that the rise in domestic commodity prices has affected the recovery of industrial consumer product prices. Although the current index is still falling year-on-year, the rate of decline has narrowed and it has risen month-on-month.

Regarding the trend of CPI in the next stage, the relevant person in charge said that it is expected that the CPI in each month of the second quarter will continue to rise moderately from a decline to an increase in March. However, due to the decline in the price increase of pork and fresh vegetables, the overall CPI Will continue to maintain a low operating situation.
