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 Oct 2023 can be accessed on the Division&#8217;s official website www.statistics.gov.ag<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-971606781\" 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>St John\u2019s Antigua, The Statistics Division, under the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Governance, releases the CPI for Oct 2023 Year-on-Year Analysis The Inflation rate or the All Items Index rose 4.0% for the month ending October 2023.
