Inflation in Hong Kong
Consumer prices in Hong Kong have risen 67.8% since October 2004, the start of the official series. That means HK$100 then buys what HK$167.78 buys in April 2026, so the same basket of goods now costs 1.7 times what it did. Over the most recent year on record, April 2025 to April 2026, prices rose 1.8%.

How inflation in Hong Kong is measured
The figures above come from the OECD's national CPI dataset, compiled by Hong Kong's national statistics office. The series is indexed so that a chosen base year equals 100, and the calculator works out the ratio between any two dates you pick.
Coverage runs from October 2004 to April 2026, and updates automatically as each new release is published. Figures for the most recent periods can be revised by the statistics office after first publication.
