Notes: For details, please refer to the pamphlet series on Balance of Payments Statistics available on the Censusand Statistics Department’s website (www.censtatd.gov.hk/products_and_services/products/publications/free_reference_materials/index.jsp).(1) A Balance of Payments (BoP) account is a statistical statement that systematically summarises, for a
specific time period, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. A complete BoP account comprises (a) current account; and (b) capital and financial account.
(2) In accordance with the Balance of Payments accounting rules, a positive value for the balance figurein the current account represents a surplus whereas a negative value represents a deficit. For thecapital and financial account, a positive value indicates a net capital and financial inflow and a negative value indicates a net outflow. As increases in external assets are debit entries and decreasesare credit entries, a negative value for net change in reserve assets represents a net increase and apositive value represents a net decrease.
(3) The estimates on net change in reserve and non-reserve assets under the Balance of Paymentsframework are transaction figures. Effects from valuation changes (including price changes andexchange rate changes) and reclassifications are excluded.
(4) In principle, the net sum of credit entries and debit entries is zero. In practice, discrepancies betweenthe credit and debit entries may however occur for various reasons as the data are collected fromdifferent sources. Equality between the sum of credit entries and debit entries is brought about bythe inclusion of a balancing item which reflects “net errors and omissions”.

Table 4(Chapter 3: The Economy)
Year-on-year Rates of Change in the Consumer Price Indices(1)(2)
Notes: (1) The year-on-year rate of change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an indicator of inflation affecting consumers.
(2) The CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C) respectively cover some 50%, 30% and 10% of households in HongKong. The average monthly household expenditure (in HK$) of these groups during the base period(i.e. Oct. 2004-Sep. 2005) were $4,000–$15,499, $15,500–$27,499 and $27,500–$59,999 respectively. Taking into account the impact of price changes since the base period, the monthlyhousehold expenditure ranges of the CPI(A), CPI(B), and CPI(C) adjusted to the price level of 2006are broadly equivalent to $4,100–$15,800, $15,800–$28,200 and $28,200–$61,500 respectively,and that of the Composite CPI is broadly equivalent to $4,100–$61,500. The Composite CPI is compiled based on the expenditure patterns of all these households taken together.

straddling different industries but are somehow related to a common theme. For instance, tourismincludes all activities of all hotels and travel agents; and some (those involving visitors as customers)but not all of the activities of restaurants, retailers and transport operators.

being re-exported to other places. The value of retained imports is derived by subtracting the estimated import value of re-exports from the value of imports. The former is obtained by removingan estimated re-export margin from the value of re-exports.
