CONSUMER PRICE INDEX MAY 2016
- The Composite CPI increased by 2.64% year-on-year to 108.17, attributable to higher rentals for parking spaces, rising charges for eating out, as well as dearer prices of tobacco and motor cars.
- The Composite CPI increased by 0.14% month-to-month. Higher prices of some cigarette brands, gasoline and women’s summer clothing pushed up the price index of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco, Transport and Clothing & Footwear. Notable decrease in vegetable prices offset the rise in prices of fresh pork and eating out, bringing down the price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages. Moreover, price index of Housing & Fuels decreased due to lower rentals for dwellings, but rising prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas curbed the decline.
- For the 12 months ended May 2016, the average Composite CPI increased by 3.90% from the previous period. The average Composite CPI for the first five months of 2016 increased by 3.33% year-on-year.
