TAHUN-KE-TAHUN BAGI BULAN OKTOBER 2019

dengan bulan Oktober 2018. Harga Makanan dan Minuman Ringan mencatatkan penurunan

sebanyak 0.7 peratus. Harga Bukan Makanan juga menurun sebanyak 0.2 peratus.

2. Penurunan IHP yang utama adalah disebabkan oleh penurunan harga dan kos Pengangkutan

peratus); dan Perhiasan, Peralatan Isi Rumah dan Penyelenggaran Rutin Isi Rumah (1.2

peratus).

3. Harga Pengangkutan menurun berikutan penurunan harga kereta; alat ganti kenderaan dan

Lain mengambilkira penurunan harga sewa kediaman dan bahan untuk penyelenggaraan dan

pembaikan kediaman. Penurunan dalam Makanan dan Minuman Ringan pula adalah

disebabkan oleh harga yang menurun bagi biskut; minyak masak; dan ikan dan makanan laut.

berbanding dengan bulan September 2019. Indeks Makanan dan Minuman Ringan dan

HEADLINE: CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) FELL BY 0.3 PER CENT

YEAR-ON-YEAR IN OCTOBER 2019

1. The CPI in October 2019 decreased by 0.3 per cent year-on-year compared to October 2018.

Prices of Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages decreased by 0.7 per cent. Non-Food prices

also decreased by 0.2 per cent.

2. The CPI decrease was largely attributed to decreases in the prices and costs of Transport

(3.7 per cent); Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and Other Fuels (1.7 per cent); and Food and

Non-Alcoholic Beverages (0.7 per cent). However, this was moderated by increases in the

prices and costs of Restaurants and Hotels (5.0 per cent); Recreation and Culture (1.7 per

cent); and Furnishings, Household Equipment and Routine Household Maintenance (1.2 per

cent).

3. Prices of Transport declined due to decreases in prices of motor cars; spare parts of vehicles

and air tickets. Meanwhile, the decrease in the prices of Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and

Other Fuels was due to decreases in rentals for housing, and materials for the maintenance

and repair of the dwelling. The decrease in Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages was due to

decreases in prices of biscuits; cooking oils; and fish and seafood.

4. On a month-on-month basis, the CPI in October 2019 decreased by 0.1 per cent compared

to September 2019. Both the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages Index and the Non-Food

Index also decreased by 0.1 per cent.

5. The CPI is a measure of price changes of goods and services paid by the consumer in a

specified period and compiled on a monthly basis. The list of goods and services in the CPI

is based on the average expenditure per household from the Household Expenditure Survey

(HES). The CPI full report for October 2019 is available from DEPD’s website:

www.depd.gov.bn.
