CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AUGUST 2016
- The Composite CPI increased by 1.65% year-on-year to 108.10, attributable to dearer rentals for parking spaces, higher charges for eating out, as well as increases in property management fees and motor car prices.
- The Composite CPI decreased by 0.23% month-to-month. Seasonal sale of clothing & footwear, lower rentals for dwellings and receding prices of Liquefied Petroleum Gas pushed down the price index of Clothing & Footwear and Housing & Fuels. On the other hand, higher charges for package tours and airfares during summer holidays drove up the price index of Recreation & Culture and Transport. Moreover, price index of Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages increased slightly due to higher prices of vegetables & fruits and dearer charges for eating out; meanwhile, receding prices of fresh fish, seafood and pork offset part of the increase.
- For the 12 months ended August 2016, the average Composite CPI increased by 3.20% from the previous period. The average Composite CPI for the first eight months of 2016 increased by 2.83% year-on-year.
