Prices of major building materials in China rose in April after months of decline, thanks to demand driven by the country's stimulus package, according to a statement on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's website.

The industrial output of building materials enterprises rose 14.4 percent to 163.3 billion yuan ($23.93 billion) in the first four months of this year, and output in April jumped 15.4 percent to 50.3 billion yuan.
