From January 2008 and onwards the index is based on prices collected for at least one week period in the middle of the reference month. Before year 2008 the index was based on prices the two first days of the month. The consumer price indices by economic category endeavour to show the price changes for products and services that follow similar pricing principles. A distinction is made between price changes for domestic and imported products; however, occasionally the separation needs to be estimated. The consumer price indices by economic category are primarily intended for the purpose of economic, policy, and financial analyses. Public protection measures stemming from COVID-19 affected the CPI where products or services were not available in 2020 and into 2021. Price measurements of the previous month were carried forward in such cases. Most impact was on tourist based categories e.g. 07332 International flights, 096 Package holidays and services that require close proximity e.g. 211 Hairdressing salons etc.
