Consumer price indices are predominantly compiled by national statistical offices.

What are the main sources for the BIS Consumer Price Indices?

The data set contains the national CPI (and not the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP)) for all countries. For more details, please refer to <a href='https://www.bis.org/statistics/cp/cp_long_documentation.pdf' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>Long series on consumer prices - data documentation to the BIS statistics</a>.

Which consumer price index is shown for the euro area countries?

This is a research data set. The year-on-year changes are calculated from the index data. Therefore, they can differ from the official statistics due to rounding effects.

Does the BIS CPI data always correspond to the official statistics?
