The CPI is reported by government statistical agencies in various countries. In the United States, the CPI is reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which is a part of the U.S. Department of Labor. The BLS is responsible for collecting, analyzing, and publishing a wide range of economic data, including the CPI, to provide valuable insights into the state of the economy. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics collects price data for a representative basket of consumer goods and services that urban consumers typically purchase. These surveys cover thousands of retail stores, service establishments, rental units, and other sources to ensure comprehensive and accurate data collection. The CPI is typically reported on a monthly basis, providing up-to-date information on changes in consumer prices. Similarly, in other countries, respective government agencies are responsible for reporting the CPI. For example, in Canada, Statistics Canada reports the Consumer Price Index, while the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reports it in the United Kingdom.
