■ Strong fiscal revenue growth
China's fiscal revenue growth rebounded further to 21.9%yoy in November from 13.7%yoy in October, the fastest pace since August 2011. More importantly, tax revenues grew 21.1%yoy, compared with 12.5%yoy in the previous month and 9%yoy during the first ten months. Value-added tax, which contributes one-quarter of total tax revenues, recovered quite strongly and grew 16.2%yoy in November (vs. 9.2%yoy in October), consistent with the improving trend in industrial and retail sales. The strength of fiscal revenue is another piece of evidence that the Chinese economy is recovering.

■ Inflation advanced but less than expected
China's consumer price inflation came in slightly below expectations at 2.0%yoy in November (Cons. & SG 2.1%), up from 1.7%yoy in October. The 0.4ppt increase was a result of a 1.2pp increase in food inflation to 3.0%yoy. Within the non-food components, housing inflation moved up marginally to 2.6%yoy from 2.5%yoy, while other categories unexpectedly softened to 1.2%yoy from 1.4%yoy, according to our calculation.
