Macau Inflation Rate at 6-Month Low
Consumer prices in Macau eased to 0.81 percent year-on-year in February of 2022, from 0.99 percent in the prior month. It was the slowest rate of inflation since last August, as lower rents, telecommunication charges, and pork prices partly offset rising costs with household services, takeaway, electricity, fuel, and fruits. Accordingly, main upward pressure came from household & furnishing services (9.86 percent vs 8.97 percent in January); transport (4.58 percent vs 4.38 percent); and food & non-alcoholic beverages (1.78 percent vs 1.28 percent). On a monthly basis, consumer prices inched up 0.09 percent, after a 0.24 percent increase in the prior month.
