Consumer prices; price index 2015=100
Description
This table contains figures on the price movements of a package of goods and services purchased by an average Dutch household. This is called the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The table also shows the derived consumer price index: this is the CPI that removes the impact of changes in the rates of taxes on products (e.g. VAT and excise duties on alcohol and tobacco) and subsidies and of taxes on consumption (e.g. motor vehicle taxes).
In addition, the table shows the monthly and annual changes in the CPI. The annual rate of change in total expenditure is an important indicator of inflation. These figures can be viewed across 337 product groups. There are also 34 aggregations of product groups (special aggregates) in the table. For each product group, you can also find out how much the Dutch consumer spends on it in relation to his total expenditure. This is called the weighting coefficient. The total weighting is 100,000.
Figures of the CPI are published every month. In addition, an annual figure will be published at the end of the year. The CPI of a calendar year is calculated as the average of the 12-month indices of that year.
Data available from: January 1996.
Status of figures:
Rapid estimate figures are published immediately at the end of a reporting month or shortly thereafter. The rapid estimate provides figures for the year-on-year and month-on-month changes in the main level of the CPI and a number of special aggregates. These figures are calculated on the basis of incomplete source data. These numbers are not suitable for indexing. Therefore, the rapid estimate does not publish indices. The changes in the rapid estimate are characterised as preliminary.
The rapid estimate is followed by the first publication of all indices and changes for the month under review. These figures are also provisional. A month later, the figures for the same reporting month become final. Differences between provisional and final indices are due to met source data.
Changes compared to the previous version:
Data for a new period has been added and/or adjustments have been made.
Changes as of 8 February 2024:
From the reporting month of January 2024, a price development will be published for spending category 063000 Hospital services. This new index series is based on December 2023. This means that the index level of 100 corresponds to the price level as measured on December 2023. Previously, an index for the same spending category was also published between 2006 and 2009. That index series had as base year 2006=100, and stopped after December 2009. The current series will start again at 100 as of December 2023.
Changes as of 1 June 2016:
Data for the period 1996 to January 2015 have been added for all series.
In order to get an overall picture, the existing series have been extended to include the spending categories that have been discontinued for the period 2015.
These are the categories of expenditure:
2006=100:
- 011320 Frozen fish
- 031100 Clothing fabrics
- 031420 Repair and rental services of clothing
- 032200 Repair and rental services of shoes
- 043210 Plumber services
- 043230 Heating maintenance
- 043250 Carpentry services
- 043290 Ov. maintenance services home
- 051300 Repair of furniture and the like
- 053190 Other large household appliances
- 063000 Hospital services
- 091420 Unrecorded data carriers
- 094240 Hire of equipment for culture
- 096010 Package holidays inland
2000=100:
- 134000 Property tax
Because these series do not have a base year 2015=100, the base year 2006=100 or 2000=100 has been used for this purpose. Where there is a different base year, this is explicitly included in the explanatory memorandum.
When will there be new figures?
The figures for the rapid estimate shall be published on the last working day of the month to which the figures refer, or shortly thereafter.
The new indices are usually published between the first and second Thursday of the month following the month under review. The indices of the previous reporting month will then become definitive.
All publication times of the CPI are published on the publicatieplanning.
