Hong Kong's Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a modest increase in December 2025, reflecting a 0.30% rise from the previous month, as per the latest data released on 22 January 2026. This uptick follows a stagnant November, where the CPI had no change, remaining at 0.00%.
The change marks a reversal in consumer price movements compared to the preceding month, indicating a modest but promising growth in economic activity. In November 2025, the CPI remained unchanged at 0.00%, suggesting that December's increase could signal emerging inflationary pressures or shifts in consumer demand and prices.
This recent development in Hong Kong's CPI may influence economic strategies and monetary policies, as inflation trends are closely monitored by policymakers and investors. The 0.30% growth in consumer prices underlines the volatility and ongoing adjustments within the economic landscape as Hong Kong enters 2026.
