The All Items Less Food and Energy declined by 0.4% over the same one-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Food Index saw a slight decrease of 0.8%. Seven out of the nine major supermarket food groups recorded decreases over the one month. This<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>decrease was primarily driven by: Oil and Fats (-7.4%), Sugars, Jams Honey, Chocolate and Confectionery (-3.3%), Vegetables (-2.7%), Food<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Products Not Elsewhere Classified (N.E.C) (-2.3%), and Fruits (-1.7%).

The decrease was influenced by a decline in the index<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for Transport Services which declined by 12.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;- END &#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the consumer price index (CPI) measuring and how is it done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The All Items Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the main measure of what is commonly called inflation, or headline inflation. It measures the change in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>prices, on average, from month to month, and from year to year of the goods and services bought by most households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices are collected monthly and quarterly from supermarkets and other suppliers of goods and services. The pattern of household expenditure on these<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>goods and services is derived from a regular household budget (or expenditure) survey (HBS). The prices and spending patterns (known as weights)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>patterns in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The All Items (or overall) index, with all of its twelve (12) component indices, is published each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a detailed account of the methodology used in calculating the CPI, please call the Statistics Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copies of the CPI for Feb 2025 can be accessed on the Division&#8217;s official website www.statistics.gov.ag<strong>Issued by:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Statistics Division<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ministry of Finance and Corporate Governance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct enqu<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3625784283\" 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 Feb 2025 Year-on-Year Analysis The Consumer Price index rose 4.0 % for the twelve months ending February 2025.
