China’s steady inflation leaves room for monetary policy fine-tuning: state planner

Inflation is expected to slow in the second half of the year, with full-year consumer inflation to be around 1.8 percent and the producer price index to be about 3.5 percent, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement on its website.
