Notes:
(1) The year-on-year rate of change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an indicator of inflation affecting consumers.
(2) The CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C) respectively cover some 50%, 30% and 10% of households in Hong Kong. The average monthly household expenditure (in HK$) of these groups during the base period (i.e. Oct. 2004-Sep. 2005) were $4,000—$15,499, $15,500—$27,499 and $27,500—$59,999 respectively. Taking into account the impact of price changes since the base period, the monthly household expenditure ranges of the CPI(A), CPI(B), and CPI(C) adjusted to the price level of 2006 are broadly equivalent to $4,100—$15,800, $15,800—$28,200 and $28,200—$61,500 respectively, and that of the Composite CPI is broadly equivalent to $4,100—$61,500. The Composite CPI is compiled based on the expenditure patterns of all these households taken together.
