Abstract

This annual publication provides a detailed analysis of the major price movements of consumer goods and services during the reference year. This is useful for understanding the inflation that affects consumers. For each of the four series of Consumer Price Index (CPI), namely the Composite CPI, CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C), the movements of the all-item indices and the indices of the 9 commodity/service sections are analysed. This publication also contains charts which depict the movements of the CPIs, tables on the seasonally adjusted CPIs, and descriptions of the concepts and computation method of the CPIs. When analysing the CPIs, Hong Kong has all along adopted a classification system which has evolved over time to meet user needs and local situation. In recent years, some economies have started to adopt the Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) developed by the United Nations in analysing the CPI. In view of this, statistical tables regarding the CPIs in COICOP are also included in the report starting from the 2010 issue to facilitate international comparison.
