Notes:
1. Four selected component industries, which carry relatively large weights and are major components of their relevant industry groups, are also included in the above table. For easy reading, the figures of these selected component industries are shown in brackets.
2. As from the first quarter of 1992, the Hong Kong Standard Industrial Classification (HSIC) is used to form the industry groups and selected component industries presented in the above table. For the exact coverage of the industry groups and component industries in terms of HSIC codes, please refer to the publication Quarterly Index of Industrial Production, 4th Quarter 1994'.
3. The % change figures in the above table are derived based on the more precise figures of
the production indices up to 2 decimal places.
• Change within ±0.05%.
