BOAO -- Keeping inflation down is the top monetary policy priority, Chinese central bank governor said Friday after the release of the consumer price index (CPI) for March.

Monetary policy balances inflation, growth, employment and the balance of payments. The consumer price index (CPI) increased 2.4 percent year on year in March, up from 2 percent in the previous month, official data showed on Friday.

Inflation was mainly attributed to higher food prices, which account for nearly one-third of the weighting in the calculation of 皇冠体育app's CPI.
