Hong Kong's Consumer Price Index for April rose by 1.7 percent year-on-year.
The government said overall inflation is moderate.
Netting out the effects of all government's one-off relief measures, the rate of increase in the Composite CPI in April was 1.6 percent, the same as in March.
The highest price increase was for electricity, gas and water at 5.5 percent, followed by miscellaneous services and transport.
Prices for durable goods fell 1.9 percent in April.
Looking ahead, a government spokesman said as international oil prices remain elevated, the feed-through process to fuel-related components in consumer prices should continue in the coming months.
The final impact would hinge on the evolving situation in the Middle East.
