  2. Why rebasing The CPI was rebased to make the indices reflect current households consumption patterns. Household consumption patterns changes over time in response to a change in products and/or incomes of households. It is necessary, therefore, to revise the weights regularly (re-base the CPI) so as to bring it in line with the current spending patterns of the population. As a rule, re-basing should take place within every five years or at any time when it has been observed that the spending pattern of the consumers’ had changed and these are mostly the appropriate time to revise the CPI basket This is the fifth time the CPI has been rebased. The first one was in 1963.

  3. What is new? The new CPI is different from the existing one: Increasing the markets coverage from 40 to 42. Increasing the items coverage from 242 to 267 Reporting inflation rate for Upper East and Upper West separately Computing new weights for items based on the GLSS 5. The old weights were based on GLSS 4. Constructing outlet based market questionnaire for effective data collection.
