Four
series of Consumer Price Indices(CPIs) are compiled
to reflect the impact of consumer price changes
on households in different expenditure ranges.
The
CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C) are compiled based on
the expenditure patterns of households in the relatively
low, medium and relatively high expenditure ranges.
By aggregating the expenditure patterns of all households
covered by the above three indices, a Composite
CPI is also compiled to reflect the impact of consumer
price changes on the household sector as a whole.
The year-on-year rate of change in this index is
generally taken to reflect overall consumer price
inflation.
The CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C) respectively cover some 50%, 30% and 10% of households in Hong Kong. The monthly household expenditures (in HK$) of these groups in the base period (i.e. October 2004 - September 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 2009 are broadly equivalent to $4,300-$16,900, $16,900-$30,400 and $30,400-$66,500 respectively.
