Hanoi’s April Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2 percent against the previous month and 0.74 percent annually, said the city’s Statistics Office.

Home appliances and garments and footwear experienced slight increases of 0.34 percent and 0.25 percent, respectively.
Food prices tumbled 0.72 this month owing to profuse supply coupled with hot weather.
