Macao's composite consumer price index (CCPI) in January dropped 0.15 percent over the previous month, standing at 110.44, according to official statistics issued on Friday.

The government-run Statistics and Census Service (SCS) dues the decrease of the CCPI mainly to the price slide-down in sectors including fuel, house rents and travel services.

Prices of food and non-alcohol beverage witnessed a rise in the month.
