According to the analysis of the source, the increase of the February's consumer price year-on-year and the substantial increase of the demand for travelling and entertainment during the Spring Festival (although the 2024 Spring Festival did not fall on the same period over last year's) indicate that the recovery of household consumption is gaining momentum. Overall, it is expected that Henan's consumer price will still run steadily in the near future.
国家统计局河南调查总队相关负责人分析，2月份居民消费价格同比由降转涨，除了春节错月导致的低基数效应影响，春节期间出行和文娱消费需求大幅增加，也显示出居民消费复苏的势头增强。综合涨跌因素，预计近期全省居民消费价格仍将平稳运行。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/李鹏 编译/杨佳欣 实习生/邱昌琪 审校/焦丹）
