The survey covered 1000 households; data from 858 households was used for the development of the Consumer Price Index.

In contrast to the seven group indices represented in the last series, the current Consumer Price Index records eleven group indices.

FUEL AND LIGHT, EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES and PERSONAL CARE SERVICES (previously recorded as sub-group indices) are the new group indices included in the All Item Index.

January 2001 was established as the base period in calculating this new series.
CHIEF STATISTICIAN February 2009 III • DOMINICA HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND EXPENDITURE SURVEY The Dominica Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) was conducted from November 1997 to December 1998 and covered all population zones or parishes.

The survey covered 1000 households distributed almost evenly over a twelve-month period.

It was also necessary for the survey design to take into account the need to have each census division adequately represented.
Administratively, Dominica is divided into eleven parishes namely Roseau, the rest of St. George, St. John, St .Peter, St. Joseph, St. Paul, St. Luke, St. Mark, St. Patrick, S1.

David and St. Andrew.

the A total of 1000 households were For the development of the C.P.I., all households from which data were collected, except those with zero income, were utilized.

This resulted in data from 858 households being used in the In addition, only items or services bought in the country were utilized.

development of the CPI.

Households kept diaries for two weeks on expenditure for Food, Alcoholic Drink, and Tobacco.
Expenditure on Accommodation, Fuel and Light, Household Furniture and Furnishings, Transport and Communication, Medical Expenses, Education and Recreation was kept for one year.

Where the diary was not completed, an estimate was made for monthly expenditure on food, based on the household size and income.

There were varying reference periods of expenditure for the different sectors.
For Clothing and Footwear the period of expenditure was three months while expenditure on Household Operations was for one month.

Miscellaneous expenses were also collected in the diary.

However in the development of the Consumer Price Index all expenditures were expressed on a monthly basis after which the average expenditure per household by sector was derived.

From In determining item these, using a base of 1000, weights were then allocated to each sector.
weights, the weight of each sector was proportionately allocated to the items that make up that sector.

A total number of 374 items are recorded from 102 sources.

These sources exclude Rent, which is measured in eight categories from 49 households.
iv The Consumer Price Index measures eleven groups namely Food, Alcoholic Drink and Tobacco, Clothing and Footwear, Housing and Utilities, Fuel and Light, Medical and Health Expenses, Household and Furniture Equipment, Transportation, and Communication, Educational Expenses, Personal Care Services, Miscellaneous/Other.

From the 1997/1998 survey, three new sub-groups, Housing Mortgage Interest Payments, Hospital Expenses, and Health Insurance were included in the Index.
The table below shows the this explains why certain groups are not strictly shifting of sub-groups to new groups; comparable.
Sub Group Shifts 1992 -1998 Sub Groups Group in which recorded - Group 1992 recorded - 1997/1998 in which I Fuel Supplies Housing and Utilities Electricity Housing and Utilities Fuel and Light (new group) Fuel and Light (new group) Home Help Housing & Utilities Telephone J Housing & Utilities Household and Furniture Equipment I Transportation and Communication Patent Medicines Miscellaneous Expenses Medical Expenses(new group) and Health Doctors' Fees Miscellaneous Expenses Medical and Health Expenses(new group) v A national expenditure survey facilitates the compiling of a Consumer Price Index where a basis of consumer spending is measured.
The All Items Index is calculated out of 1000 and is segmented into group and sub-group indices.

Following a household expenditurc survey, weights are derived, by calculating the total value of items consumed to the total quantity consumed.

The public often makes the error of assuming that the monthly and/or yearly Consumer Price Index measures the price of all items on relail shelves and every service available.
It must be explained that the Index covers selected consumer items and service based on a household Expenditure Survey.

Such items and services rarely change (in the Index) until another survey is conducted.

The price the consumer pays for these items is recorded on a monthly basis and within a specific period.

The period of price collection for this series is the I4 1h to 21 st of every month.

The base for the current consumer Price Index is January 200 I.
1992 HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND EXPENDITURE SURVEY The 1992 Household Expenditure Survey covered the four most populous parishes or population zones in Dominica: S1.

George, S1.

Paul, S1.

Patrick and S1.

Andrew.

From a total of 13,576 households (total of all four parishes), eight hundred and fifty-five (855) were selected for (574) questiOImaires were completed, representing a 67.1 % response rate.
The number of items selected from the 1992 survey was more that twice that of 1982 reflecting a more detailed Consumer Price Index.

A total of three hundred (300) items came from eighty-one (81) sources.

These sources excluded Rent, which was measured in seven categories from forty-four (44) households.

the survey.

Five hundred and seventy-four The addition of new sub-groups and the increase/decrease, in the weights of others showed the change in consumer spending patterns, over the last ten years.
The shifts (decreases) in group indices FOOD, HOUSING AND UTILITIES, FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT, and ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND TOBACCO were absorbed by movements (increases) in TRANSPORTATION, CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR and MISCELLANEOlJS EXPENSES.
- Repairs to House, From the 1992 survey, new sub-groups were represented as follows: Insurance Payments, Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services, House Cleaning, Repairs to Equipment, Purchase of Motor Vehicles, Transport Insurance and Fees, Clothing Accessories and Personal Life Insurance.

February 1994 was established as the base for the series.

The period for price collection was the 8th to 21 st of every month.
VI Household Income and Expenditure Survey Consumer Price Index 1992 Weights compared to 1998 The Consumer Price Index 1992 weights compared to 199& revealed that FOOD continued to record the highest group weight indicating that consumers continue to spend most of their household income on Food.

However, the Food group weight recorded an I &.17 percentage decrease over 1992, from a weight of401.&1 in 1992 to 32&.& in 199&.
Sub groups contributing to that decline were Vegetables, Fruit and Fruit Preparations, Miscellaneous Foods and Meat (preserved).

The decline in Meat (preserved) is attributed to the sharp reduction in and consequently omission of salted beef and bacon, from the consumer basket.

Consumers however, diverted expenditure on Non-alcoholic Beverages, Oils and Fats, Sugar and Other Sweets, Dairy Products and Frozen Meat.
Consumers increased spending on Non alcoholic Beverages such as coca-cola products, other carbonated drinks and malts.

The seasonality of fruits has been observed as one of the main factors contributing to the increase in consumption of carbonated drinks.

that dietary requirements have improved, a The 1&.31 % increase in Dairy Products reveal positive trend to the promotion of adequate food nutrition.
The weight of Oils and Fats almost doubled from &.97 to 16.40 with the consumption of cooking oil as the main contributor.

This is supported by the increase in the "fast food informal sector".

The Food group recorded new items which were not registered in the 1992 basket revealing new consumption pattern: chicken franks, skim milk, processed cheese, peanut butter, salad dressing, apples, pineapples, mayonnaise, bottled seasoning, canned nuts, and bottled water.
Alcoholic Drink and Tobacco recorded a 41.21 % decline from 16.16 to 9.5.

A decrease 000% was recorded in Alcoholic Drinks while the consumption of cigarettes reduced sharply by 75%.

Dry tobacco leaves was dropped from the consumer basket.

Such indicators reveal success in programs towards the reduction of alcoholic and tobacco consumption.
Utility and Other Services (Table 3) revealed that expenditure on Electricity increased significantly by more than 124.9% from 1992 to 199& reflecting an average increase of 21% every year.

Telephone Services reflected an &I% increase in expenditure and usage, moving from a weight of 4.&5 to 14.6, the main factor contributing to that increase is the additional line of new service.

Water recorded an increase weight of 14.6 in comparison to 4.&5 in 1992, reflecting a 201.0% increase in expenditure.
This exponential rise can be attributed to the installation of meters in newly constructed buildings instead of the previous flat rate system, which was still vii • • CONSUMER PRICE INDEX 2008 REVIEW The 2008 Consumer Price Index registered a 6.36 percent increase over the year moving from 112.58 to 119.73(Table 3).
