It measures the change in prices, on average, from month to month, and from year to year of the goods and services bought by most households.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are collected monthly and quarterly from supermarkets and other suppliers of goods and services.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern of household expenditure on these goods and services is derived from a regular household budget (or expenditure) survey (HBS). The prices and spending patterns (known as weights) are then combined to calculate the price indices for groups of goods and services and for the All Items index. These indices are based on expenditure patterns in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The All Items (or overall) index, with all of its twelve (12) component indices, is published each month.<\/p>\n<p>For a detailed account of the methodology used in calculating the CPI, please call the Statistics Division.<\/p>\n<p>Copies of the CPI for Sep 2022 can be accessed on the Division&#8217;s official website www.statistics.gov.ag<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2293358251\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Statistics Division, under the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Governance releases the CPI for Sep 2022 Year-on-Year Analysis All Items Index increased 8.6% for the twelve months ending September 2022 a slightly larger increase than the 8.3% for the period ending August 2022.
