Take multiple measures to ensure that prices are basically stable.
At the above-mentioned press conference, in addition to the short-board work of urbanization in the county, consumption is also a topic of great concern.
From the consumer price index in July, CPI rose by 2.7% year-on-year. Meng Wei introduced that in terms of specific items, food prices have risen and fallen, and the range of change is within the normal fluctuation range.
Affected by the centralized listing of seasonal fruits, the price of fresh fruits continued to fall on the basis of last month's decline, down 4.4% from the previous month; The supply and demand of chicken and duck meat were generally stable, and the price of poultry meat decreased by 0. 1%.
Recently, the price of pork rose by 10.3% month-on-month, which was not only caused by the gradual expansion of consumer demand, but also affected by the flood on pig production and transportation. On the other hand, affected by heavy rainfall and floods in the south, the price of fresh vegetables increased by 6.3% month-on-month. In addition, the prices of clothing, tourism and housing have all declined to varying degrees.
