Vietnam's consumer price index (CPI) rose by 3.48% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year, mainly fueled by the increasing prices of food in localities directly affected by Typhoon Yagi, and housing and education services, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO). In September alone, the country's CPI increased by 0.29%. Nine out of the 11 main groups of goods and services saw growing prices in the month. Source: Vietnam News Agency
