Beijing (AFP) - China's consumer inflation rebounded marginally to 1.5 percent year-on-year in December, the government said Friday, as slowing growth in the world's second-largest economy keeps a lid on prices.
The rise in the consumer price index released by the National Bureau of Statistics marked an increase from a five-year low of 1.4 percent in November.
For the full year 2014, consumer inflation was 2.0 percent, down from 2.6 percent in 2013 and well below the government's target of about 3.5 percent.
