For Austria, a detailed consumer price index (CPI) is published concurrently under four successive base years. This program is separate from the Eurostat-standard harmonized CPI.
The consumer price index (CPI) is a measure of general price trends and of inflation in Austria. In addition to its role as a general indicator of inflation, the CPI is used for the valorisation of fixed amounts of money (e.g. rents, living costs), and also provides the data on which wage and salary negotiations are based. Both consumer price indices are thus key indicators for Austrian and European data users.

Revisions were previously carried out every 10 years, today they must be conducted at five-year intervals in accordance with EU regulations (EC No. 2494/95). The aim is to adapt the basket of goods and services accordingly so it is representative for the current consumer behaviour of households.
The CPI has been subject to revisions since 1958, and was revised for the seventh time at the beginning of 2006.
