Domestic gasoline prices continued to fall, which helped the consumer price
index (CPI) decreased slightly in April.
According Binh
Thuan Provincial Statistics Office, CPI in April 2023 decreased by 0.27%
compared to the previous month, increased by 3.61% over the same period last
year and increased by 0.82% compared to December last year, average CPI in 4
months of 2023 over the same period last year increased by 4.19%.
Compared to the
previous month, in 11 groups of main consumer goods and services, there were 9
groups of goods with price increases: Traffic by 0.54%; other goods and
services by 0.51%; household appliances and appliances by 0.41%; culture,
entertainment and tourism by 0.34%; apparel, hats and footwear by 0.32%;
beverages and tobacco by 0.19%; post and telecommunications by 0.16%; medicines
and medical services by 0.08%; education by 0.05%.

On average, in the
first 4 months of 2023, domestic gasoline prices decreased by 12.22% compared
to the same period last year according to fluctuations in world prices. This
impact caused the overall CPI to drop significantly.
Regarding
inflation, according to data from the General Statistics Office, core inflation
in April 2023 increased by 0.13% over the previous month, by 4.56% over the
same period last year. On average, in the first four months of 2023, core
inflation increased by 4.9% over the same period in 2022, higher than the
overall average CPI (up 3.84%). The main reason is that the average domestic
gasoline price in the first 4 months of 2023 decreased by 12.22% compared to
the same period last year, the decrease in gas price by 6.73% is a factor
restraining the growth rate of CPI but belongs to the group of goods excluded
from the core inflation calculation list./.
