CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
AUGUST 2017
- The Composite CPI increased by 1.36% year-on-year to 109.57, attributable to rising tuition fees, dearer prices of adults’ footwear and gasoline, as well as higher charges for eating out and outpatient services.
- The Composite CPI rose by 0.09% month-to-month. Higher charges for package tours and airfares during summer holidays and rising gasoline prices pushed up the price indices of Recreation & Culture and Transport. In addition, price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages edged up owing to dearer charges for eating out, yet receding prices of fresh fish and seafood tapered off part of the increment. On the other hand, price indices of Clothing & Footwear and Housing & Fuels decreased on account of seasonal sale of summer clothing and lower prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas.
- For the 12 months ended August 2017, the average Composite CPI increased by 1.16% from the previous period. The average Composite CPI for the first eight months of 2017 went up by 1.01% year-on-year.
