Prices for tobacco and alcohol, utilities, transportation, food and restaurants, and housing rose, while prices for clothing, durable goods, and basic food items declined.<\/p>\n
These price changes had multifaceted impacts on daily life in Hong Kong. <\/p>\n
On one hand, rising costs for necessities like housing, transportation, and dining out increased the living expenses for residents, especially for low-income households. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, the decline in food prices provided some relief for consumers.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the stability of the CPI in 2024, despite global economic uncertainties, reflects the resilience of Hong Kong\u2019s economy. <\/p>\n
The absence of significant price volatility helped maintain consumer confidence and supported the continuous development of the economy.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
