中国生产者价格指数9月份同比上涨5%，为2022年6月以来的最大涨幅，国家统计局周三表示，燃料成本上升增加了企业压力。生产者价格指数涨幅从8月份的3.8%加速。
China’s producer prices rose 5% year-on-year in September, their fastest increase since June 2022, as higher fuel costs increased pressure on businesses, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday. The increase in the producer price index accelerated from 3.8% in August.
国家统计局表示，煤价也因冬季取暖需求增加、主要煤炭产区临时供应紧张以及对国际煤价上涨的预期而上涨。
The bureau said coal prices also rose amid stronger demand for winter heating, temporary supply tightness in major coal-producing regions and expectations of higher international coal prices.
与此同时，消费者价格指数9月份同比微升至0.9%，而8月份为0.8%。
Consumer inflation, meanwhile, edged up to 0.9% year-on-year in September from 0.8% in August.
国家统计局城市司首席统计师 Dong Lijuan 表示，汽油价格飙升16.6%，对年度消费通胀率的贡献约为0.47个百分点。
Gasoline prices surged 16.6%, contributing about 0.47 percentage points to the annual consumer inflation rate, according to Dong Lijuan, chief statistician of the bureau’s urban division.
食品价格下降1.7%，从总体通胀中减少约0.29个百分点，部分抵消了燃料成本上升的影响。剔除波动较大的食品和能源价格的核心通胀率为1%。
Food prices fell 1.7%, subtracting approximately 0.29 percentage points from headline inflation and partially offsetting the impact of higher fuel costs. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, stood at 1%.
数据显示，生产者和消费者通胀之间的差距正在扩大，工业成本上升伴随消费者价格相对温和的上涨。
The figures showed a widening gap between producer and consumer inflation, with higher industrial costs accompanied by relatively modest consumer price increases.
