PRICE INDEX FIGURES.
HONGKONG GENERAL AVERAGE DOUBLE
THAT OF UNITED KINGDOM; .
As measured at the Statistical Branch of the Imports and Exports Department, wholesale prices in Hongkong during the first seven months of 1931 showed, on balance, a general average index figure slightly more than double the United King- dom index figure, as measured at the Board of Trade, for the same period, the respective figures for all articles being: United Kingdom 62.1: Hongkong 128.5.
Since January of this year the Statistical Office has con- structed an index on the basis of 1922-100, and the index figures have been reconverted for the purpose of comparison with the Board of Trade Index which is based on 1924=100.
Wne
The selection of 1922 as the Hongkong base year prompted by the fact that 1922 most nearly approached a normal year of any since the war.
The decline in sterling wholesale prices has persistently continued slace the latter end of 1929, the local increases being almost entirely due to the depreciated value of Hongkong currency.
Details are given in the following tables:
