Inflation rate in China – additional information

Inflation rate is most commonly measured by the Consumer Price Index. A positive inflation rate reflects a rise in prices. Between 2007 and 2017, China only once experienced a deflation situation, with price levels decreasing by roughly 0.7 percent in 2009.

Monthly inflation in China between January 2018 and January 2019 was moderate compared to other emerging markets. In 2018, the monthly inflation rates of Brazil, Russia and India ranged from 2.2 percent to 5.5 percent, while in China the figures were between 1.5 percent and 2.9 percent.

In China, there is a regional difference in inflation rates. As of December 2018, Qinghai had experienced the highest CPI at 102.6 percent, while Xinjiang reported a CPI growth of 0.9 percent. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, as of June 2014, inflation was mainly fuelled by a surge in health care and medical service prices, as they had increased by 2.7 percent compared to previous year. The price gain in other non-food sectors was relatively slight. Transportation and communication prices even decreased by 0.2 percent compared with the year before.

Low inflation might be good news for consumers and businesses, but it also indicates slower expansion of the economy. As stated in research by IMF, GDP growth momentum in China has cooled down since 2010. With a population of more than 1.3 billion people, China outpaced Japan as the world’s second-biggest economy in 2010. According to a forecast by Goldman Sachs, China’s GDP will amount to about 32 trillion U.S. dollars in 2030, surpassing the United States as the world’s leading economic power.
