BEIJING - China’s factory gate deflation deepened in March, official data showed on Friday, with prices falling the most in five months, underlining broad economic damage wrought by the coroanvirus outbreak.
Headline consumer inflation also eased somewhat last month, partly led by government control measures, while core prices remained benign. The stringent travel and transport curbs have now been lifted across much of the country including Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak where the virus first emerged in late 2019. So far the virus has killed more than 3,300 and infected over 81,000 people in the country.
Worldwide, the virus has killed around 95,000 people and infected more than 1.5 million. Policymakers globally have responded to the crisis by launching an unprecedented package of stimulus measures, injecting trillions of dollars to backstop their economies that have been brought to a virtual standstill.
