CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
MARCH 2021
The Composite CPI decreased by 0.97% year-on-year to 102.29, attributable to lower charges for package tours and telecommunication services, as well as falling prices of pork, gasoline and clothing; meanwhile, airfares and charges for domestic services and outpatient services registered increase.
The Composite CPI dropped by 0.28% month-to-month. Receding charges for package tours and lower hotel room rates after the Lunar New Year drove down the price index of Recreation & Culture. Despite rising gasoline prices, price index of Transport decreased owing to falling airfares. On the other hand, price index of Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco registered growth on account of increased prices of alcoholic beverages. Price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages rose slightly due to higher charges for eating out; yet, falling prices of vegetables, fresh fish and seafood offset part of the increase.
For the 12 months ended March 2021, the average Composite CPI went down by 0.09% from the previous period (April 2019 to March 2020). The average Composite CPI for the first quarter of 2021 dropped by 1.04%.
