VTV.vn - Hanoi’s Consumer Price Index in September fell by a marginal 0.1% against August, marking a meagre 0.34% increase compared to the same period last year, according to the city’s Statistics Office.

Housing, electricity, water, fuel and building materials all saw falls thanks to declining fuel prices. The city’s CPI in the nine months witnessed a year-on-year increase of just 0.71%.

Meanwhile, Hanoi’s Gross Regional Domestic Product for the first nine months increased 8.3% against the same period last year, higher than the same period of 2013 and 2014.
