India, Oct. 22 -- Hong Kong's consumer price inflation accelerated more-than-expected in September, data released by the Census and Statistics Department showed on Thursday.
The consumer price index, or CPI, climbed 1.9 percent year-over-year in September, faster than the 1.7 percent stable increase in August. The expected inflation rate was 1.8 percent.
The rise in inflation was mainly due to the accelerated increases in inbound and outbound transport fares and the charges for package holidays, the agency said.
