The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for October 2024. According to the Composite CPI, overall consumer prices rose by 1.4% in October 2024 over the same month a year earlier, smaller than the corresponding increase (2.2%) in September 2024. The smaller increase in October 2024 was mainly due to the dissipation in this month of the low base effect arising from the rates concession and the waiver of the extra public housing rent payable in the third quarter of 2023 (i.e. from July to September).

Netting out the effects of all Government's one-off relief measures, the year-on-year rate of increase in the Composite CPI (i.e. the underlying inflation rate) in October 2024 was 1.2%, larger than that in September 2024 (0.9%). The larger increase in October 2024 was mainly due to the upward adjustment in public housing rentals.

A Government spokesman said that underlying consumer price inflation stayed modest in October. Food prices continued to record mild year-on-year increases, while the rate of decline of prices of energy-related items narrowed further. Price pressures on other major components remained broadly in check.

Looking ahead, overall inflation should stay mild in the near term. Domestic cost may see some mild upward pressures as the Hong Kong economy continues to grow. External price pressures should ease further, though uncertainties from the external environment remain.
