Notes :
1. The Real Wage Index is obtained by deflating the nominal index by the 1999/2000-based
Consumer Price Index (A).
2. The distinctly larger year-on-year increases in the Real Wage Indices in December 2001 mainly
reflected the influence of a marked decline in the Consumer Price Index (A) caused by the
waiver of public housing rentals granted by both the Housing Authority and the Housing Society
for December 2001.
3. The year-on-year decreases in the Real Wage Indices in December 2002 mainly reflected the
influence of the increase in the Consumer Price Index (A) caused by a lower base for comparison
for December 2001 reflecting the waiver of public housing rentals by both the Housing Authority
and the Housing Society in that month.
4. The Financing, Insurance, Real Estate(Except Agencies) and Business Services Sector
does not include stock, commodity and bullion brokers, exchanges and services companies;
insurance agents and brokers, and real estate agencies.
