CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
AUGUST 2019
The Composite CPI increased by 2.83% year-on-year to 116.41, attributable to higher charges for eating out, rising rentals for dwellings and dearer prices of fresh pork, motor cars, gasoline and gold jewellery. The soaring prices of fresh pork in particular contributed 0.32 percentage points to the growth.
The Composite CPI grew by 0.30% month-to-month. Price indices of Health, Recreation & Culture and Miscellaneous Goods & Services showed notable growth on account of higher charges for outpatient services and package tours, as well as increasing prices of gold jewellery. Dearer prices of fresh pork and rising charges for eating out pushed up the price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages; yet, receding prices of vegetables and fruits tapered off part of the increase. On the other hand, price index of Clothing & Footwear dropped notably owing to summer sale of women's clothing.
For the 12 months ended August 2019, the average Composite CPI rose by 2.92% from the previous period. The average Composite CPI for the first eight months of 2019 went up by 2.77% year-on-year.
