The Census and Statistics Department said recent global financial turmoil will affect local asset markets, impacting consumer sentiment and the local economy, which needs to be monitored closely.

Double-digit growth in the sales volume was seen in electrical goods and photographic equipment by 21.6 percent and furniture and fixtures by 14.7 percent.
