Pakistan's Consumer Price Index (CPI) is in the process of being rebased. Consultations for rebasing have begun and the plan is to change its base from 2007/08 to 2015/16; and thereafter every ten years. You might be inclined to think that the change in CPI is purely a technical matter and that as such it should best be left to those who deal in economic statistics. But think again. The rebasing of CPI index effectively means changing the items in the basket (and its composition) of goods and services whose prices are tracked to measure inflation.

Of course, it would be both impractical and unnecessary to measure price changes of every item bought by every household in compiling the CPI. The question, therefore, is whose basket of goods and services should be tracked to measure inflation. To answer this question, a technical committee is formed comprising of representatives from Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, independent think tanks such as the Social Policy Development Centre, business chambers and trade unions, academic research clusters and so forth.

In the second step, the committee decides the tentative list of cities from where the prices of different items will be collected. Concurrently, a list of items is prepared with the items grouped under various categories. Once that is prepared, a questionnaire is devised for the purpose of a certain survey called the Family Budget Survey. This Family Budget Survey is used to assess the expenditure patterns of urban households from five income groups. The findings of that survey help assign different weights to the items - and the groups they are categorised in - so as to measure the impact of price change in every item with respect to its importance for the consumer.

In the last rebasing of 2007/08, for example, the committee had decided to measure the prices of 487 items (categorised in 12 groups) collected from 76 markets in 40 cities across Pakistan. The weights assigned to the each of these groups were according to the Family Budget Survey conducted back then. According to the last Family Budget Survey, for example, 'Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages', which comprised of 127 items, had a total weight of 34.84 percent. That weight was based on percentage expenditure of households on all these 487 items for each of the five income groups in the selected cities. However, had the Family Budget Survey included rural households, then the weight of food group would have likely been around 44-45 percent after adjusting for the fact that food makes up 50 percent plus of rural household expenditure.

WHY IT MATTERS So why should one worry about the right composition of CPI index? Well, measuring inflation is not only important for macroeconomic management that affects the lives of all and sundry. It is also important because of its use in legislation and in a wide variety of contracts that office goers and factory workers are used to. For instance the CPI can affect your wage rates; or the extent to which you can ask your boss for minimum pay raise each year; it is also important for fixing the increases in house rents; it will also affect the interest rate on the auto loan you took last year; and so on and so forth.

In other words, if the index does not represent the consumption patterns of the society then it could potentially result in a host of negative consequences. Therefore, a certain amount of thinking by the society, or at least by the key stakeholders, is required in terms of the items that are included in the CPI index. At present there are a host of methodological issues with the CPI index. These methodological concerns pertain mostly to the data that is not captured by the index or to the index formula and/or ancillary calculation issues.

The first of those key issues was discussed in yesterday's BR Research columns (See: CPI rebasing: rural basket matters); whereas some of the other key issues have been discussed in today's BR Research columns (See: Issues in measuring consumer price inflation).

We would encourage our readers - experts or non-experts who closely watch the economy - to go through the 487 items enlisted here and let us know what items would you like to add to (or remove from) the existing basket of goods and services - items that you think are missing but are an important part of monthly consumption of a significant number of urban/rural households in Pakistan. BR Research would be happy to compile the list, and share it with PBS's technical committee so they can consider the same accordingly.
