China's August CPI forecast at about 1.7 pct
China's consumer price index (CPI) growth for August
Beijing - Wam
China's consumer price index (CPI) growth for August is expected to be between 1.5 to 1.7 percent, according to the Bank of Communications.
The August CPI, a main gauge of inflation, is due to be released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on 9th September.
A rise in food prices in August may push up CPI growth, as food prices account for nearly one-third of the CPI, said Tang Jianwei, the bank's chief analyst.
Food prices are predicted to have increased by 1.4 percentage points from July, affected by extreme weather during August, state news agency, Xinhua, quoted Tang said as saying.
In the second half on 2017, CPI growth is expected to be slightly lower than the first half, with little pressure of inflation for the whole year, according to Tang.
CPI growth was 1.4 percent year on year in July, slightly down from June's 1.5 percent, NBS data showed.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
