CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
JANUARY 2018
- The Composite CPI increased by 1.74% year-on-year to 111.14, attributable to higher charges for eating out, dearer prices of women’s winter clothing and footwear, as well as rising parking meter rates and rentals for dwellings.
- The Composite CPI edged up by 0.06% month-to-month. Higher prices of gold jewellery and gasoline, as well as rising parking meter rates pushed up the price indices of Miscellaneous Goods & Services and Transport. Price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages went up on account of dearer charges for eating out and rising prices of fresh pork, yet receding prices of vegetables and fruits tapered off part of the increase. On the other hand, price indices of Communication and Recreation & Culture decreased notably owing to lower charges for telecommunication services and package tours.
- For the 12 months ended January 2018, the average Composite CPI increased by 1.23% from the previous period.
