The consumer price index (CPI) measures the rate at which the prices of consumer goods and services are changing over time. It is a key statistic for economic and social policymaking and has substantial and wide-ranging implications for governments, businesses, and households. This important and comprehensive Manual provides guidelines for statistical offices and other agencies responsible for constructing CPIs, and explains in-depth the methods that are used to calculate a CPI. It also examines the underlying economic and statistical concepts and principles needed for making choices in efficient and cost-effective ways, and for appreciating the full implications of those choices.

Abstract
The Data Dissemination Initiative was launched in the mid-1990s as part of a broader internationally-agreed-upon initiative to strengthen transparency and promote good governance practices by establishing standards and codes. Ten years later, the initiative is viewed as an integral part of the international financial architecture, and is considered to have improved the functioning of international financial markets and contributed to global financial stability. This volume reviews certain aspects of the development of and experience with the initiative over the past decade, and concludes by reflecting on potential challenges ahead and possible enhancements.

Abstract
El Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC) mide la evolución de los precios al consumidor de los bienes y servicios a través del tiempo. Es una estadística clave para formular tanto políticas económicas, especialmente monetarias, como políticas sociales, y tiene consecuencias importantes y diversas para los gobiernos, las empresas, los trabajadores y los hogares. Este exhaustivo manual proporciona pautas para oficinas de estadística y otras agencias responsables de la elaboración del IPC y explica en profundidad los métodos utilizados para calcularlo. También examina los conceptos y principios económicos y estadísticos necesarios para tomar decisiones eficientes en función de los costos y para apreciar las consecuencias de esas elecciones en toda su magnitud. Es una herramienta valiosa para los encargados de formular políticas y los investigadores, especialmente para aquéllos interesados en los números índice. Las siguientes organizaciones internacionales que se interesan en la medición de la inflación y en las políticas para controlarla colaboraron en la preparación de este manual: la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, el Fondo Monetario Internacional, la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económicos, la Oficina de Estadística de la Comunidad Europea (Eurostat), la Comisión Económica de las Naciones Unidas para Europa y el Banco Mundial. ----------------------- The consumer price index (CPI) measures the rates at which the prices of consumer goods and services are changing over time.

Abstract
L'indice des prix à la consommation (IPC) mesure le rythme auquel les prix des biens et services de consommation évoluent au fil du temps. C'est une statistique essentielle pour l'élaboration des politiques économiques et sociales, en particulier la politique monétaire et la politique sociale, qui a des implications considérables et variées pour les administrations publiques, les entreprises, les travailleurs et les ménages. Ce manuel important et complet fournit des lignes directrices aux instituts de statistique et aux autres agences responsables de l'établissement des IPC et explique en détail les méthodes utilisées pour leur calcul. Il examine également les concepts et principes économiques et statistiques sous-jacents nécessaires pour faire des choix de manière efficace et efficiente et pour mesurer toutes les implications de ces choix. Les organisations internationales suivantes, qui s'intéressent à la fois à la mesure de l’inflation et aux politiques visant à la maîtriser, ont collaboré à l’élaboration de ce manuel : le Bureau international du travail, le Fonds monétaire international, l'Organisation pour la coopération et le développement économiques, l'Office statistique des Communautés européennes (Eurostat), la Commission économique des Nations Unies pour l'Europe et la Banque mondiale.
