This Handbook provides guidelines on all aspects of compiling a consumer price index (CPI) and offers advice on a range of operational issues in data collection, data processing and publication. It is targeted at developing countries, focusing on practical solutions to the problems facing compilers of the CPI in the developing world. But it will also be of interest to compilers more generally.
The Handbook follows and supplements the international Consumer Price Index Manual - Theory and Practice (2004). It is accompanied by a CD-ROM with training aids and references, including interactive examples of the methods and calculations given in the Handbook, where users can input their own data.
