China’s Premier Wen Jiabao says the country must control food and property inflation to ensure social stability.<\/p>\n
The remarks came after the premier visited fresh food markets in south western China over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Inflation in China eased slightly in September but high prices remain a concern for the country’s population.<\/p>\n
Consumer prices rose 6.1% last month, compared with the same month last year, the National Bureau of Statistics said.<\/p>\n
“The first step to controlling inflation is the proper management of food costs,” Mr Wen said, after visiting pork sellers in the city of Nanning.<\/p>\n
The premier said it was important to ensure adequate food supplies and increase the amount of agricultural reserves.<\/p>\n
He also addressed soaring home prices, which is a critical issue for many Chinese households.<\/p>\n
Mr Wen acknowledged that a lack of adequate capital was delaying plans to construct affordable housing in the province of Guangxi.<\/p>\n
China’s central government has implemented a number of measures to control inflation and slow economic growth.<\/p>\n
Its economy grew by 9.1% in the three months to the end of September from a year earlier, down from 9.5% in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n
