Hong Kong Inflation Rises to 1.4% in December 2025

MT Newswires Live01-22 16:57

Hong Kong's consumer prices rose 1.4% in December 2025 from a year earlier, picking up from 1.2% in November, data from the Census and Statistics Department showed Thursday.

The underlying inflation rate, which excludes the effects of all one-off government relief measures, increased to 1.2% from 1.0% in November, driven mainly by higher package tour charges and inbound and outbound transport fares.

Price increases were recorded in transport, miscellaneous services, alcoholic drinks and tobacco, and housing. Prices also rose for miscellaneous goods, meals out, and takeaway food, and basic food.

Declines were seen in durable goods, clothing and footwear, and electricity, gas, and water.

A government spokesman said consumer price inflation remained modest in December, with underlying price pressures broadly contained.

Overall inflation is expected to stay moderate in the near term, as domestic and external cost pressures remain mild, the spokesman added.
