Domhdca PREFACE The Consumer Price Index is based on the 199711998 Household Expenditure SUlvey which covered all ten parishes or population zones in Dominica.

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 added to the All Item Index.

January 2001 was • established as the base period in calculating this new series.

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 or St. George, St. John, St .Peter, St. Joseph, St. Paul, St. Luke, St. Mark, St. Patrick, St. David and St. Andrew.
Development of the Consumer Price Index Data on expenditure collected during the conduct of the HIES formed the basis for the development of the Consumer Price Index (C.P.!.).

A total of 1000 households were interviewed.

For the development of the c.P.

!., all households from whicfl data were collected, except those with zero income, were utilized.

This resulted in data from 858 households being in the used in the development of the CPI country were utilized.
Households kept dIaries for two weeks on expcnditure for Food, Alcoholic Drink, and Tobacco.

Expenditure on Accommodation, Fuel and Light, Household Furniture and Furnishings, Transport and Communication, Medical Expenses, Education and Reereati()n was kept for one year Where the diary was not completed, an estimate was made li)r monthly expenditure on I()l)d, based on the household size and mcome.
In addition, only items or services bought There were varying reference periods of expenditure for the ditTerent 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 alter which the average expenditure per household by sector was In derived.
from these, using a base of 1000, weights were then allocated to each sector.

• IV • • determining item 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.
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 Communication, Educational Expenses, Personal Care Services, Miscellaneous/Other.

Furniture Equipment, Transportation, and 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 shifting of sub-groups to new groups; this explains why certain groups are not strictly comparable.

The All Items Index is calculated out of 1000 and is segmented into group and sub-group indices.

Following a household expenditure 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 retail 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 141b to 21" of every month.

The base for the current consumer Price Index is January 2001.
1992 HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND EXPENDITURE SURVEY The 1992 Household Expenditure Survey covered the four most populous parishes or population zones in Dominica: St. George, St. PauL St. Patrick and St. Andrew.

From a total of 13,576 households (total of all four parishes), eight hundred and fifty-five (855) were selected for the survey.

Five hundred and seventy-four (574) questionnaires were completed, representing a 67.

I% response rate.
I% 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 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 FURNITURE AND group EQUIPMENT.

and ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES AND TOBACCO were absorbed by movements (increases) in TRANSPORTATION.

CLOTHING AND FOOlWEAR and MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES.

FOOD.

HOUSING AND UTILITIES.


indices 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 Insurance and Fees, Clothing Equipment, Purchase of Motor Vehicles, Transport Accessories and Personal Life Insurance.

February 1994 was established as the base for the series.

The period for price collection was the 81b 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 1&.17 percentage decrease over 1992, from a weight of 401.&1 in 1992 to 32&.& in 199&.
Sub groups contributing to that decline were Vegetables, Fruit and Fruit Preparations, MiscelIaneous 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.

The 1&.31% increase in Dairy Products reveal that dietary requirements have improved, a 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 of 30% 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.

VII Telephone Services reflected an 8I% increase in expenditure and usage, moving from a weight of 4.85 to 14.6, the main factor contributing to that increase is the additional line of new service.

Water recorded an increase weight of14.6 in comparison to 4.85 in 1992, reflecting a 201.0"10 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 predominant in the 1992 Survey.

In addition disconnected households previously on the flat rate system, were switched to metered installation upon reconnection.

Home Insurance moved from a weight of 2.89 to 10.6 reflecting a 266.8% increase in expenditure.

This can be accounted for as new homeowners become more aware of property security services.
Conversely, as all Utility Services increased, Rent decreased drastically.

This decline in Rental expenditure can be measured, as more consumers privately owned their dwelling.

Expenditure on rent declined by 83.3% while the new sub-group Mortgage Interest recorded 7.70 (a group that did not record a weight, significant enough to be placed in the consumer basket in 1992).
In the Transport group, the weight on Motor Vehicle increased by 67.81%, while annual travel activity declined from a weight of 50.34 in 1992 to 30.00 in 1998.

Clothing and footwear recorded a 20.1% increase in weight.

However, the difference in expenditure was higher in footwear than clothing.

The weight on Medicine and other Health expenses increased by 100.6 with new sub groups - Hospital Expenses and Health Insurance recording weights of 10.4 and 3.2 respectively.
Though Examination fees account for 32% of the weight in Education Expenses, this group (Education Expenses) declined sharply by 41.52% moving from 49.59 in 1992 to 2900 in 1998.

This decline may be attributed to the free Secondary Text book program, specifically for First Forms, while the other factor was the sharp decline in Music Lessons (which was more popular in 1992).

In fact, the Survey revealed that consumers did not spend on Music Lessons.
Thus currently Music has heen eliminated from the Consumer basket whereas, in 1992 it accounted for 1.37.

Other new items "entering" the consumer basket were spectacles, hospital expenses and fees (including surgery), mortgage interest payments, home freezers, water heaters, rental of household furniture, (on hire purchase) gardening services, computers, examination fees, school clothing material, gym services and passport photos.
Items "dropped" from the consumer basket were bacon, fresh milk, breadfruit, soursop, coconut jelly (nuts), ripe bananas, pawpaw, peanuts (unshelled), tobacco, black and white television set, repairs to household equipment and bicycles.

viii CONSUMER PRICE INDEX 2002 Review The All Item Index recorded an average of 100.64 over the year reflecting a 0.18 percent rise, the lowest ever recorded.
The contributory factor to this stable and slow movements in the Index resulted from deflation in the Transportation, Clothing and Footwear and Housing and Utilities Indices.

The largest decline, 3.68 was recorded in the TRANSPORTATION group index, with sub-group Insurance, Taxes and Fees (which includes Telephone) decreasing by 10.1 percent.

Purchased Transportation (which includes air travel) decreased by 4.7 percent.
The highest percentage increase, 4.01, was registered in the EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES group index FUEL and UGH[ followed with an increase of 3.74 percent, FOOD 1.54, PERSONAL CARE SERVICES, 1.49, MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES, 1.47, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES and TOBACCO, 1.18 (Table 5).

HOUSEHOLD AND FURNITURE group index recorded the lowest annual average increase, 0.14 percent (Table 5).
The highest All Items monthly percentage increase, 0.63 was recorded in August with groups indices FUEL AND LIGHT and PERSONAL CARE SERVICES registering increases of 5.22 and 3.58 respectively (Table 2).

The largest monthly decline, 0.61 was recorded in June as the TRANSPORTATION group index fell by 4.20 percent.
IX Over the last seven years (two base periods February 1994 and January 2001) price increase of 25.0 to 50.0 percent was recorded in selected items: imported beef, evaporated milk, butter, carrots, oranges, grapefruit, tomato ketchup, instant coffee, coca-cola beverages and vehicle license.

Items increasing more that 50.0 percent over the period were alcohol (rum), electricity, water, doctor's fee and pre-school fees (Table 9).
Over the year, (December 2001 to 2002) price increase of 15 to 30 percent was recorded in selected items- cornmeal, yams, green plantains, beans, women's blouses, girls casual shoes, electricity, air fare and motor car tyres.

Price reduction of more than 19.0 percent was recorded in sweet potatoes, girl's formal dresses and blouses, men's dress pants and telephone rates.
