GNI is a measure of the total income earned by residents of an economy from engaging in various economic activities, irrespective of whether the economic activities are carried out within the economic territory of the economy or outside. GNI is obtained by adding net external primary income flows (i.e. external primary income inflow minus external primary income outflow) to GDP of the same year.

(1) Real Gross National Income (RGNI) is obtained by adding the terms of trade adjustment and real net external primary income flows to real GDP.

Notes: (1) The BoP is a statistical statement that systematically summarises, for a specific period (typically a year or a quarter), the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world (i.e. between residents and non-residents). A complete BoP account comprises two broad accounts: (a) the current account; and (b) the capital and financial account.

(2) In accordance with accounting rules adopted in compiling the BoP, a positive value for the balance figure in the current account represents a surplus whereas a negative value represents a deficit. In the capital and financial account, a positive value indicates a net financial inflow while a negative value indicates a net outflow. As increases in external assets are debit entries and decreases are credit entries, a negative value for the reserve assets represents a net increase while a positive value represents a net decrease.

(3) The estimates of reserve and non-reserve assets under the BoP framework are transaction figures. Effects of valuation changes (including price changes and exchange rate changes) and reclassifications are not taken into account.

(4) In principle, the net sum of credit entries and debit entries is zero. In practice, discrepancies between the credit and debit entries may occur for various reasons as the relevant data are collected from many sources. Equality between the sum of credit entries and that of debit entries is brought about by the inclusion of a balancing item which reflects net errors and omissions.

Consumer Price Index (C)(1) +4.1 +2.1 +1.5 Food +5.1 +3.0 +2.4 Housing +6.1 +3.2 +1.9

Notes: The year-on-year rate of change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an indicator of inflation affecting consumers.

Figures are derived based on the 2014/15-based CPI series. The year-on-year rates of change before October 2015 were derived using the index series in the base periods at that time (for instance the 2009/10-based index series), compared with the index a year earlier in the same base period.

(1) The CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C) respectively cover some 50%, 30% and 10% of households. The average monthly household expenditure (in HK$) of these groups during the base period (i.e. Oct 2014-Sep 2015) were $5,500-$24,499, $24,500-$44,499 and $44,500-$89,999 respectively. Taking into account the impact of price changes since the base period, the monthly household expenditure ranges of the CPI(A), CPI(B) and CPI(C) adjusted to the price level of 2017 are broadly equivalent to $5,800-$25,700, $25,700-$46,400 and $46,400-$93,800 respectively, and that of the Composite CPI is broadly equivalent to $5,800-$93,800. The Composite CPI is compiled based on the overall expenditure patterns of all these households taken together.

Notes: All figures are rounded off to the nearest hundred.

(1) While the vast majority of permanent living quarters are occupied by domestic households, a small proportion are occupied by non-Hong Kong residents or are not used as usual accommodation. Accordingly, statistics on permanent living quarters should not be compared directly with statistics on domestic households derived from the population censuses/by-censuses or the General Household Survey for the purpose of assessing the vacancy situation of housing units. The main reason is that households comprising only non-Hong Kong residents or Mobile Residents are not classified as domestic households. As regards statistics related to the housing vacancy situation, the Rating and Valuation Department compiles the vacancy rate of private domestic units regularly and publishes the statistics in the Hong Kong Property Review.

(2) Excluding hotels and accommodation used for inmates of institutions.

(3) Including private residential flats, villas/bungalows/modern village houses, simple stone structures/traditional village houses, quarters in purpose-built staff quarters buildings and quarters known to be used for residential purpose in non-residential buildings, such as commercial buildings and industrial buildings.

(4) Including persons living in non-domestic housing, private temporary housing, institutions and hotels, and on board vessels.
