AS domestic demand has been on a steady recovery track in the first half, experts said on Monday they expect more proactive fiscal and monetary policies to advance the balanced allocation of financial resources, and further help prices recover.
Their remarks came after the National Bureau of Statistics said on the same day that China's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose by 0.1 percent year-on-year in the first six months.
