• • PREFACE The Consumer I'ri~e Inl:lx is based on the 1992 Household Expenditure Survey which covered the fOur most populous parishes or population zones in Dominica: St. George, St. Paul.

St. Patrick and Sl ,\ndrew.

From a total of 13,576 households (total of all four [J.lrishes), eight hundred and fitly-five (885) were selected for the survey.

Five hundred and SCI enty-four (574) questionnaires were completed, representing a 67.1 % response rate.
The \lumber of i'.eILS ';eleeted from the 1992 survey was more than twice that of 1982 reflecting a more detaikd CI'llSUlller Price Index.

A total of three hundred (300) items came froUl eighty one (81) s(Jurces.

These sources excluded Rent, which was measured in seven categories frl)m fony-lour (44) houselllllds.

The addil:un of new sub-groups and the increase/decrease in the weights of others showed tlte change in consumer spending patterns, over the last ten years.
The shifts (decreases) in group indices FOOD, HOUSING AND UTILITIES, FURNITURE AND HOUSEHOLD EQUIPME1\T, ane!

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND TOBACCO were absorbed by movements (increases) in TRANSPORTATION, CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR and MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES.

A national eo:pcndiwre SUf\·e:.

facIlitates the compiling of a Consumer Price Index v.here a basis of c,)nsumer spending is measured.

The All Items Index is calculated out of 1000and is s~gmented into group and sub-group indices.
Following a househOld expenditure survey, \\eights arc derived, by calculating the total value of items consumed to the total quantity consumce!.

The public often makes the error of assuming that the monthly and/ or yearly Consumer Price Index mca,ures the price or all items on retail shelves and every service available.

It must be e.·.plaincd thut the index covers selected consumer items and services based on a household Expenditure Survey.
Such items and services rarely change (in the Index) until another ,urvey is conducted.

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

From the 1992 survey, new SUb-groups were represented as follows:- Repairs to House, 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.
FeblUary 1994 was established as the base in calculating this neW senes.
