Understanding the Consumer Price Index

What is CPI?

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an index that tracks the price of a representative basket of goods and services consumed by households in South Sudan.

The composition of the goods and services in the basket reflects consumption of the average household in South Sudan. The change in the CPI over time indicates how much more expensive it is for the average household to continue consuming the same basket of goods and services.

Key Concepts

  • Annual Inflation: Percentage change in CPI over one year
  • Monthly Change: Percentage change in CPI over one month
  • CPI Basket: Representative selection of goods and services
  • Base Period: Reference period for index calculation (June 2011=100)
