Notes: The industry groups and selected component industries for the indices are in terms of the Hong Kong  Standard Industrial Classification

           (HSIC) as from the first quarter of 1992. Indices of earlier periods have been recompiled to facilitate comparison with the statistics from

           1992 onwards.

          As from 1996, the paper products and printing industry also included establishments engaged in publishing without printing.
