Abstract

In recent years, some economies started to adopt the Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) developed by the United Nations in analysing the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In view of this, the Census and Statistics Department additionally compiles the 2004/05-based CPI based on COICOP to facilitate international comparison. This article gives a brief introduction of the COICOP and analyses the 2004/05-based CPIs by COICOP.
