About Producer Price Index YoY — Hong Kong
DEFINITION
Hong Kong's Producer Price Index YoY surged to 9.5% in February 2026, up from January's 7.7%, marking the fastest annual pace in over a year. This sharp acceleration reflects broad-based cost pressures across manufacturing and energy inputs, well above the 12-month average of 6.04%. Market participants reacted with caution as equities opened lower, while the Hong Kong Monetary Authority continues monitoring for inflation spillovers. Updated 3/13/26
