Việt Nam’s consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.05 per cent in May compared to April, said the General Statistics Office (GSO) yesterday. The office cited increased pork prices leading to a supply shortage following the African swine fever outbreak at the end of 2023 and higher electricity prices due to recent hot weather. Compared to December 2023, CPI in May 2024 has increased by 1.24 per cent, and 4.44 per cent compared to the same period last year
