New CPI COICOP-5 categories (February 2025)

With StatsSA’s latest publication of the consumer price index in February 2025 (reference), new categories of consumer goods and services were placed into the basket, and some categories were taken out. Their COICOP 5-digit dataset contains time series of all the indices for these sub-categories, and these data are available in EconData (under the CPI_COICOP_5 dataflow ID). See our user guide. Below, we list the categories removed and added in the transition from base period December 2021 to December 2024 (reflected on EconData in a version increment of our dataflow from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0).
