1月通脹2%

政府統計處公布,1月綜合消費物價指數按年升2%,升幅較去年12月份的1.4%為高。剔除政府單次紓困措施影響,基本通脹率為1.6%。

 

各類消費項目中,煙酒、水電燃氣、交通、雜項服務、外出用膳及外賣、住屋、雜項物品、基本食品價格均上升;衣履和耐用物品價格則下跌。

 

政府表示,1月基本消費物價通脹輕微,食品價格錄得輕微按年升幅,而能源相關項目價格進一步上升,但維持溫和。其他主要組成項目承受的價格壓力仍然大致受控。

 

然而,由於今年農曆新年所在的月份與去年不同,政府容後會合併1月份和2月份的數據,以評估基本通脹情況。

 

展望將來,通脹在短期內應會維持溫和。隨着香港經濟繼續增長,本地成本或會面對上升壓力,但外圍價格壓力應維持受控。另一方面,由地緣政治緊張局勢和貿易摩擦帶來的不確定性值得關注。
