Please note that the purpose of the sub-indices is to measure changes in price levels for households, not changes in operating costs for businesses. A new classification system, COICOP2018, was introduced in January 2026. Therefore, the data are based on an index with December 2025 = 100. An overview of these changes can be found here. A description of the categories in COICOP2018 can be found here, and a correspondence table showing how categories from ISLCOICOP are mapped to categories in COICOP2018 is available here. To give users an idea of how sub-indices according to COICOP2018 would have looked in 2025, data collected under ISLCOICOP were mapped to COICOP2018, and sub-indices were calculated based on that mapping. These sub-indices are published in the table with the reservation that data coverage for individual categories varies in quality, and in some cases approximations had to be used.
