HA NOI (VNS) — Viet Nam's Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell by 0.2 percent in January, compared to last month.
This drop was attributed to the sharp decline in the worldwide price of petroleum in recent months, the General Statistics Office (GSO) announced.
This is the third consecutive month that the CPI recorded a drop, with a 0.27 percent fall recorded in November last year, and 0.24 percent in December.
