Consumer price index (CPI) for October 2021
Information from the Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) indicated that the Composite CPI for October 2021 (102.84) rose by 0.91% year-on-year. The increment was attributed to dearer prices of gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas, higher charges for eating out, as well as increasing airfares and wages of domestic helpers; however, the rise was partially offset by lower rentals for dwellings and retreating prices of pork. Among the various sections of goods and services, price indices of Transport and Household Furnishings & Services surged by 7.66% and 4.46% year-on-year respectively, whereas the indices of Communication and Clothing & Footwear fell by 2.13% and 1.80%.
