Inflation History

The composition of the CPI basket has changed.


A new basket of products and services based on updated classifications has been introduced.


The new base period will be set to 2008 and is represented as 2008=100
Since January 2008 Stats SA has been surveying the prices off all products in the new basket. In this way 2008 inflation rates can be meaningfully compared with 2009 developments. A new inflation history table will therefore be introduced from January 2009.
