7 Consumer Price Index (CPI) Calculation Methodology CPI is a tool that measures the rate of change in the prices of a range of goods and services purchased by households between two time periods. The period against which prices are compared is known as the base period and the period under review is known as the comparison period. 1- Sources of Goods and Services The sources used for collection of price data were determined through field visits conducted by a team from the Price Indices Section. These sources are updated on a regular basis as the team reports to the section when any source closes down or relocates premises. Price data is currently collected from 117 sources. 2- Collection of Price Data The CPI basket is collected every month, except for the group of vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, and chicken for which price data is collected every week due to constant price fluctuations in these items. Data on home rentals is collected on a quarterly basis, and school tuition fees semi-annually. The index is calculated using 2007 as the base year for the Abu Dhabi region, with a basket consisting of 334 goods and services and a consumer basket consisting of 670 goods and services. 3 - Weights The Weights (relative importance) of goods and services is calculated using the results of the 2007/2008 household income and expenditure survey. Goods or services with a weight of per cent or more were included in the CPI basket of goods and services. Goods with weights below this value were distributed proportionally among the other goods in the same group. 4- Compilation of the CPI CPI is calculated using the Laspeyres method which uses fixed base-year weights: CPI = P P W 1 i L 0i 0i The average price of goods is calculated using the geometric mean of elementary aggregates. Price ratios are calculated by dividing the comparison price by the 7

8 base price, and new weights for goods are obtained by multiplying the price ratio by their base weight. The index for house rentals is calculated separately using a moving base. It is then entered into the main Excel file. It is worth noting that this figure is calculated on a quarterly basis. In addition to the general CPI for all Abu Dhabi Emirate, CPI is also constructed for five welfare levels classified according to annual household income quintiles. In addition CPI by Household type is constructed, classified into national, non national and collective households. Collective household means two or more unrelated persons living in one housing unit and sharing their living arrangements. 8
