CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY IN THE CITY
OF CAGLIARI
PRESS RELEASE RELATING TO THE MONTH OF APRIL 2024
The consumer price indices for April 2024 were developed taking into account the limitations,
differentiated at a regional level, defined by national and local regulations to combat the pandemic caused
from Covid-19.
The system of the survey on consumer prices, based on the use of a plurality of channels for
data acquisition, continued to reduce the negative effects of the higher number of
lack of findings on the quality of measurements of the dynamics of consumer prices.
The ways in which the situation that arose was gradually addressed are illustrated
in the methodological note of the press release issued today by Istat which also reminds us that
the indices at the different levels of aggregation, both national and local, which have had a share of attributions
higher than 50% (in terms of missing prices and/or weight), are reported using the “i” flag
(given
accused).
In Cagliari, in the month of April 2024, the consumer price index for the entire community, for the part
cyclical, marked a change of -0.2%, thus decreasing compared to the month
previous year in which no change had been recorded.
The trend index records a change of +1.4%, which is an increase compared to the +1.2% that was recorded
had in March.
