National Bureau of Statistics: It is necessary to continue to expand domestic demand, optimize the market competition environment, and promote a reasonable increase in prices.

On November 14th, Fu Linghui, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, chief economist and director of the Comprehensive Statistics Department of the National Economy, stated at the State Council Information Office press conference that, under the various measures to promote a reasonable increase in prices, there has been a positive change in consumer prices in October. However, market demand is still weak, and prices are overall running at a low level. In the next stage, efforts will be made to further expand domestic demand, deepen the construction of a unified national large market, optimize market competition environment, promote the governance of key industry production capacity, improve supply and demand relationship, and promote a reasonable increase in prices.
