The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for July 2024. According to the Composite CPI, overall consumer prices rose by 2.5% in July 2024 over the same month a year earlier, larger than the 1.6% rise in consensus and corresponding increase (1.5%) in June 2024. The larger increase in July 2024 was mainly due to the end of the rates concession in June 2024. 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 July 2024 was 1.2%, also larger than that in June 2024 (1%). The larger increase was mainly due to the increases in inbound and outbound transport fares as well as the smaller decreases in electricity charges.

A Government spokesman said that underlying consumer price inflation remained modest in July. Prices of meals out and takeaway food continued to increase at a relatively fast pace over a year earlier, while those of basic food edged up. Prices of energy-related items continued to show visible decline. Price pressures on other major components remained broadly in check.

Looking ahead, overall inflation should stay mild in the near term. Domestic cost may face some moderate upward pressures as the Hong Kong economy continues to grow. External price pressures should remain on a broad moderating trend, though geopolitical tensions may bring uncertainties. The Government will continue to monitor the situation.
