This Handbook is targeted at developing countries focusing on practical solutions to the problems facing compilers of the consumer price index (CPI) in the developing world. It provides practical guidance on all aspects of compiling a CPI, and offers advice on a range of operational issues in data collection, data processing and publication. Although targeted at CPI compilers in developing countries it will also be of interest to compilers more generally.
The Handbook follows and supplements the international Consumer Price Index Manual. Theory and Practice, published in 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.
