Compared with February 2007, the indices of Recreation & culture; Clothing & footwear; Miscellaneous goods & services; and Transport recorded notable decreases of 5.84%, 2.26%, 0.73% and 0.50% respectively, on account of lower prices for outbound package tours, air tickets and hairdressing services after the Chinese New Year, as well as seasonal sale of women's clothing.
