The country's producer price index (PPI) dropped 1.4 percent in May from a year earlier, easing from a slide of 2.5 percent in the previous month.
Influenced by factors such as the upward trend in international commodity prices and improvements in the supply and demand relationship in the domestic industrial market, the month-on-month PPI in the country has shifted from a decline of 0.2 percent in April to an increase of 0.2 percent in May, while the year-on-year decline has narrowed.
