Since 2001 the Statistical Office of Estonia updates every year the weights system of the consumer price index and base prices for calculation. In the current year (t) the base prices for the calculation of the consumer price index are the prices of the last year (t-1) December. The calculations are made on the base last year December = 100. The weights system corresponds to the average expenditure structure of the population in the last year. To ensure the comparison with previous periods, the consumer price index is continued to be published on the base 1997 = 100. Last year December is the linking month. The breakdown into groups of consumption is based on the Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP). Prices of goods and services are registered in ten Estonian towns every month. The observation period is the week including the 15th day of the month.
