SEOUL, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Consumer prices in South Korea posted the highest increase in eight months as vegetable prices picked up during the kimchi-preparing period for winter, a government report showed on Tuesday.


Consumer prices gained 1.3 percent in October from a year earlier, the highest since February, according to Statistics Korea.


After staying below 1 percent for four months through August, the consumer price inflation rebounded above the 1 percent level in September and continued its upward trend in October.


Prices for agricultural, livestock and fishery products surged 8.1 percent over the year, raising the overall headline inflation by 0.60 percentage points. The reading lingered high after jumping 10.2 percent in September.


Agricultural product prices surged over 10 percent, with those for livestock and fishery products advancing 6.1 percent and 5.3 percent respectively.


Vegetable prices gained ground on poor crops caused by sweltering heat in summer. Prices for napa cabbage and white radish more than doubled as the period of preparing kimchi for winter came in.


Fresh vegetable prices surged over 40 percent, with fresh fruit prices rising 1.4 percent. The fresh food price index, which reflects vegetables, fruits and fish, advanced 15.4 percent.


Core consumer prices, which exclude volatile agricultural and oil products, rose 1.5 percent in October on a yearly basis. The OECD-method core prices, excluding food and energy costs, added 1.6 percent.


Food and non-alcoholic beverage jumped 5 percent, raising the overall consumer price inflation by 0.69 percentage points last month.


The so-called livelihood prices, which reflect daily necessities, gained 1.0 percent, marking the fastest increase since July 2014. It was attributable to higher farm goods prices and the weaker effect from the government's cut in electricity charges.


Electricity charges posted a double-digit fall in September as the government decreased electric bill rates, but the effect reduced last month, with the electricity costs falling at a single-digit rate.


Petroleum product prices shed 5.7 percent this month, but the falling pace was slower than a 7 percent decline in the previous month on the relatively stable crude oil prices.


Costs for district heating and city natural gas registered a double-digit fall, with prices for snacks and rice falling over 10 percent. Prices for gasoline and diesel dipped 5.6 percent and 3.8 percent respectively.


Higher headline inflation is expected to put more pressure on the Bank of Korea (BOK) to lift its policy rate that was lowered in June to an all-time low of 1.25 percent.


The U.S. Federal Reserve is widely forecast to raise interest rates later this year, disposing South Korea to risks of foreign fund outflow to seek a high-return investment.


Household debts in South Korea kept a record-breaking trend amid the record-low interest rate, pressuring the BOK which had refrained from altering its policy rate since June.

VALLETTA, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Malta has been selected as one of the National Geographic Traveler's "Best destinations for 2017" recently.


The destinations were all chosen by the magazine's editors and fall into one of three categories: cities, nature and culture. Malta is in the top of culture categories.


Writing for National Geographic, author Lisa Abend writes: "Eager for its turn on the world stage, this tiny island nation in the Mediterranean Sea is embracing a reboot while holding fast to a formidable heritage."


"Storied land of the Knights of Malta, home to three World Heritage sites -- including the capital, Valletta -- and a recent headline-grabber as a setting for the television phenomenon Game of Thrones, Malta pivoted toward the future with the 2015 inauguration of architect Renzo Piano's reimagining of Valletta's old City Gate, Parliament building, and Opera House," Abend wrote.


There are variety of cultural activities occurring throughout the year in Malta, such as Carnival week in February; a number of three-day weekends celebrating feast days of various saints, known as traditional village festas, from late May to September.


Also popular is the annual Isle of MTV free outdoor mega-concert, and Malta Music Week in June.


Earlier this month Sport Diver Magazine readers voted Malta 3rd best diving destination in the world, placing just behind the Maldives and Egypt at this year's Sport Diver Awards.


This placed Malta as the most popular diving destination in the Mediterranean as voted for by thousands of Sport Diver readers.


Such events are expected to leave an impact on Malta's already thriving tourism industry. Official monthly figures published from Malta's National Statistics office have all seen an increase in tourists when compared with their corresponding months in 2015.
