WRITTEN QUESTION E-0755/04

by José García-Margallo y Marfil (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(11 March 2004)

Subject:   Statistics relating to the harmonised consumer price index in Europe

Subject:

The harmonised consumer price index used by Eurostat is a benchmark for comparing inflation between Member States but, without casting doubt on its highly sophisticated scientific nature, how does the Commission explain the persistent feeling among the public in the euro zone that price rises far exceed the increase recorded by the harmonised consumer price index?

Does the Commission realise that, if it cannot be changed, this public perception will have particularly negative effects as it is common knowledge that inflationary factors have very important psycho-sociological interactions and that the fall or stagnation in household consumption can partly be explained by this perception, which may well be mistaken, but which demands a convincing response?

Answer given by Mr Solbes Mira on behalf of the Commission

(15 April 2004)

(15 April 2004)

The Commission has noted the discrepancy between price increases recorded by official statistics such as the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and measures of perceived inflation in several Member States. There are various possible explanations for such discrepancy. One that has received supportive evidence (see for example Eurostat's June 2003 HICP press release) is related to the fact that, following the euro cash changeover, consumers experienced significant price increases for some types of goods and services, mostly small services and some frequently bought items. These goods tend to have a large impact on how the public perceives price developments, whereas, due to their relatively small weight in the overall basket of consumption measured by Consumer Price Indices, their price increases were offset by more moderate price developments in other categories of goods and services.

The Commission is fully aware of the possible macroeconomic risks that might stem from the mismatch between inflation perceptions and recorded inflation. However, the Commission also notes that other more fundamental elements are generally advanced as having a stronger bearing on the behaviour of private consumption expenditure. These include changes in unemployment levels, in wages, in asset prices and in the fiscal stance of Member States. Hence, on the basis of available economic evidence it appears unlikely that the discrepancy between recorded and perceived inflation would be a major element behind the recent behaviour of private consumption in the euro area.
