| Notes: | (1) As from the reference month of October 2000 onwards, the year-on-year rates of change are derived from the new 1999/2000-based CPIs. For the earlier months, the year-on-year rates of change are derived from the old 1994/95-based CPIs. |
| ¡@ | (2) In calculating the average monthly rates of change during the latest three months in the seasonally adjusted CPIs, the new 1999/2000-based CPIs are used as from the reference month of January 2000 onwards. For the earlier months, the average monthly rates of change during the latest three months are derived from the old 1994/95-based CPIs. |
