BEIJING (Reuters) - China's consumer prices rose at a slower pace in November, while producer price deflation persisted, even as the economy received support from recent stimulus efforts.
The consumer price index rose 0.2% last month from a year earlier, cooling from a 0.3% increase in October, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Monday. It was also below a 0.5% rise forecast in a Reuters poll of economists.
CPI fell 0.6% month-on-month, compared with a 0.3% fall in October and a forecast 0.4% decline.
The producer price index fell 2.5% year-on-year in November, slowing from a 2.9% drop in October and above the estimated 2.8% fall.
