Hi everyone. I’m Stephanie LI.大家好，我是主持人李莹亮。Coming up on today’s program.重点提要 -PPI in September soared by a historic high of 10.7%, driven by the relentless rise in coal prices;-Oversubscription of two municipal government bonds issues in HK and Macau.Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours 中国经济要闻China’s factory-gate prices in September rose at their fastest pace in more than two decades amid power crisis.The reading is the highest since the start of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) database in October 1996 after the index hit 10.1 in August 2008.The producer price index (PPI), which reflects the prices factories charge wholesalers for their products, rose by 10.7 percent in September from a year earlier, up from a gain of 9.5 percent in August, the NBS said.Rising commodity prices have been blamed for the sharp rise in PPI this year after the index rose by just 0.3 percent in January this year. The increase was largely driven by a 75 percent year-on-year rise in the coal mining and dressing sector in September, up from a rise of 57 percent in August. Among 40 industrial sectors surveyed, 36 saw price hikes, said an NBS official.The consumer price index (CPI), meanwhile, rose by only 0.7 percent in September from a year earlier, dragged mainly by a lower cost of food. Yet economists warned that the energy crisis that may not ease until the end of this year could weigh on China’s inflation. The National Development and Reform Commission announced on Tuesday that the market-based electricity prices will be allowed to rise by as much as 20 percent against the benchmark. Economists estimated that the move would impact CPI and PPI, and the effect on PPI could be bigger given higher costs for energy-intensive industries. 9月PPI上涨10.7%，破历史纪录！PPI与CPI剪刀差持续扩大。国家统计局14日发布了2021年9月份全国CPI(居民消费价格指数)和PPI(工业生产者出厂价格指数)数据，其中PPI同比上涨10.7%，高于8月份的9.5%，创下国家统计局有记录以来的新高。此次PPI上涨，主要受煤炭开采和洗选业价格上涨74.9%影响。此外，PPI和CPI的剪刀差则进一步扩大。9月CPI同比上涨0.7%，涨幅比上月回落0.1个百分点，食品价格下降是拉低CPI同比涨幅的主要原因。统计局表示，消费市场供需基本平稳，价格总体稳定。国家发展改革委周二发布了关于进一步深化燃煤发电上网电价市场化改革的通知，将燃煤发电市场交易价格上浮范围扩大到了20%。经济学家预测，电价上涨将带动CPI及PPI继续上涨，其中，由于对高耗能企业市场交易电价上涨范围更大，对PPI的影响将更为显著。Greater Bay Area, Greater Future新使命，大未来The first municipal government bond issued offshore, the 5 billion Shenzhen government yuan bonds listed in Hong Kong, which was completed on Monday, had been oversubscribed by 2.48 times and attracted subscriptions worth 17.4 billion yuan.
