Chairman's Feedback on the Monthly Survey of Retail Sales, February 2008
(香港訊，二零零八年四月一日) – 就政府公佈二零零八年二月份的零售業銷貨額臨時統計數字，香港零售管理協會主席關百豪先生有以下回應：
數字與協會預期情況相符：
- 正如協會早前提及，二月份的數字應較一月份有所回落，因為消費者一般集中在農曆年前購物，而零售銷貨價值於新年後仍有9.5%的高單位數字增長，已算不俗；主要由於就業情況持續理想、薪酬進一步得到改善，雖然股市繼續反覆不穩，但整體經濟基調仍然良好。
- 值得關注的是通脹惡化的問題，當中尤以食品為甚，而金價及油價的進一步飈升亦不利經濟的持續發展；預期通脹將進一步蠶食消費者的購買力及零售商的盈利能力。
