The active figures are indexed to 2012=100, not seasonally adjusted (NSA). The classification is COICOP. The series start at January 2012. The four predecessors are indexed to 2002, 1997, 1977 and 1963; we also carry the corresponding year-over-year percent changes (% Y/Y); these series start as early as January 1970 and run to August 2012.
The series reside in the historical catalog (Ghana » Price » Consumer Price Index) and include, for example:
- CPITT_63UM.IGHA = [DISCONTINUED] All items [01 to 12], (Index Mar1963=100, NSA)
- CP%TT_02UM.IGHA = [DISCONTINUED] All items [01 to 12], (% Y/Y, NSA)
- CPITTUM.IGHA = Consumer price index: All items [01 to 12], (Index 2012=100, NSA)
- CPIFBNUM.IGHA = Food and non-alcoholic beverages [01], (Index 2012=100, NSA)
- CPINFPUM.IGHA = Non-food [02 to 12], (Index 2012=100, NSA)
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
About our extract:
- We denote the COICOP composition in square brackets in the series metadata.
- Data Buffet does not currently contain the other reported CPI detail (12 COICOP major groups, 10 subnational regions).
- Although the active version is reported from January 2012, we have extended its history to January 1970 by using the predecessors.
- Moody's Analytics has created a seasonally adjusted version of the all-items index.
