Chairman's Feedback on the Monthly Survey of Retail Sales, March 2008
(香港訊，二零零八年四月二十九日) – 就政府公佈二零零八年三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：
- 三月份的零售量（volume of retail sales, 13.0%)符合協會預期，惟偏高的零售銷貨價值 (value of retail sales, 20.0%)則是協會預料之外的，亦反映通脹問題正在加劇。
- 當中尤以食品的差距為甚(銷貨價值：15.6%; 零售量：0.7%)，蔬菜及肉類的銷貨價值是雙位數字升幅，但零售量則有所下跌。而燃油及珠寶等的銷量更受國際價格飙升所影響，令銷貨價值及零售量的數字相距甚遠。
- 雖然無可否認，香港整體經濟基調仍然良好，但協會仍希望政府能提出有效壓抑通脹的措施，以免香港的增長被通脹蠶食。
