CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
MAY 2018
- The Composite CPI increased by 2.97% year-on-year to 112.44, attributable to dearer charges for eating out, higher rentals for dwellings and parking meter rates, as well as rising prices of gasoline and women’s clothing & footwear.
- The Composite CPI increased by 0.37% month-to-month. Price indices of Clothing & Footwear, Health and Transport went up on account of new arrival of women’s summer clothing and footwear, rising charges for in-patient and out-patient services, as well as higher prices of gasoline. Meanwhile, dearer charges for eating out and higher prices of fresh fish and seafood drove up the price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages; yet receding prices of vegetables and fresh pork tapered off part of the increase. On the other hand, lower prices of gold jewellery and other personal effects (e.g. handbags and wallets) pushed down the price index of Miscellaneous Goods & Services.
- For the 12 months ended May 2018, the average Composite CPI increased by 1.96% from the previous period. The average Composite CPI for the first five months of 2018 went up by 2.67% year-on-year.
