CONSUMER PRICE INDEX MAY 2015
- The Composite CPI increased by 4.93% year-on-year to 105.39, attributable to higher rentals for dwellings and rising charges for eating out.
- The Composite CPI increased by 0.50% month-to-month. Higher prices of women’s clothing and footwear, rising wages of domestic helpers and dearer charges for out-patient services pushed up the price index of Clothing & Footwear, Household Goods & Furnishings and Health. Moreover, higher prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas and gasoline drove up the Composite CPI by 0.13 percentage points month-to-month. On the other hand, receding prices of vegetables and seafood tapered off the increase in the price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages.
- For the 12 months ended May 2015, the average Composite CPI increased by 5.52% from the previous period. The average Composite CPI for the first five months of 2015 increased by 4.92% year-on-year.
