THE OLD CCPI WAS INTRODUCED IN 1952 AND ONLY TOOK THE

THE INFLATIONARY FIGURE.
STATISTIC DEPARMENT
THE STATISTICS DEPARTMENT SAYS, THE EXPENDITURE PATTERNS
TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY THE OLD INDEX IS AN OUTDATED

UNDER THE NEW CCPI, PRICE COLLECTION CENTERS OF ITEMS

COMING UNDER THE CONSUMER GOODS BASKET HAVE BEEN EXTENDED
FROM THE PREVIOUS 7 TO INCLUDE TO 12 CENTERS IN COLOMBO AND
ITS SUBURBS.

THE WEIGHING PATTERN OF THE INDEX IS EXPECTED TO REFLECT

ALL URBAN HOUSEHOLDS IN COLOMBO, RATHER THAN HOUSEHOLDS
ONLY WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

CENSUS OFFICIALS ALSO HAVE COMPILED A “CORE INFLATION
INDEX” BASED ON THE NEW CCPI, FOR MONETARY POLICY PURPOSES.

IT WILL EXCLUDE THOSE ITEMS COVERED UNDER THE CONSUMER
