The figures showed that the increment of the composite CPI for December 2008 stood at 125.78, with the price indices of food and non-alcoholic beverages, health, and clothing and footwear went up by 14.35 percent, 13.69 percent and 9.39 percent respectively.
Among the subgroups of food and non-alcoholic beverages, notable increase was observed in the prices of rice, canned meat, fresh-water fish, edible oil and vegetables.
Meanwhile, the indices of transport and communication dropped by 8.15 percent and 6.86 percent respectively, attributable to the bus-fare subsidy provided by the government of Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), falling gasoline prices, lower prices of mobile phones and reduced charges for mobile phone services, the DSEC said.
