This page outlines what inflation-related dataflows we make available through EconData. “Price Indices (inflation)” is a Category in our EconData StatsSA Category Scheme. In these dataflow docs, we detail the codes used in the series. StatsSA provides additional sources and methods information about the series.
Consumer Price Indices (CPI)
CPI provides information regarding changes in the overall level of prices based on the total expenditure of the household sector. This publication contains the CPI (Inflation) rates. The P0141 contains information on all urban areas and the additional tables contains information for provinces, primary urban areas, secondary urban areas and rural areas.
Publication code: P0141

CPI COICOP 5-digits
This COICOP dataflow records prices at a categorical level (rather than at a basket level), and follows the international consumer price classification scheme. Please click on this paragraph to show detail.
ID: CPI_COICOP_5
The Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) is the international reference classification of household expenditure.
Attribute | Value (constant) |
---|---|
Source Dataset | P0141 |
Frequency | Monthly |
Base Period | December 2021 |
Unit of measure | Index |
COICOP Structure
Level 1: Divisions (two-digit)
Level 2: Groups (three-digit)
Level 3: Classes (four-digit)
Level 4: Subclasses (five-digit)
The latest (2018) version of the classification is outlined on the UNSD website, but South Africa’s baskets with revision periods from 2008 to 2019 used the previous version, the 2003 COICOP classification.

CPI Weights
This CPI weights dataflow is the primary data source for deriving expenditure shares for the goods and services covered by the CPI. Please click on this paragraph to show detail.
We provide a history of sets of CPI weights, which define baskets, over 10 base periods stretching back to 1970. We release each base period as a vintage, and over time the number of baskets included with each revision by StatsSA has increased. From 2008 onwards, we include COICOP codes as an attribute in the metadata so that you can join the weights data to the COICOP indices mentioned above.
Data sources include the Household Expenditure Survey (HES). The 2014/15 Living Conditions Survey (LCS) informed the 2016 weights and basket update. Due to a lack of funding for subsequent surveys, the 2019 weights update relied on changes in the household final consumption expenditure (HFCE) component of the national accounts from 2016/2017 to 2019, based on estimates published in August 2021.
ID: CPI_WEIGHTS
Publication code: P0141.5
Overview
The revision periods that we provide as vintages are: 1970, 1975, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2019.
The dimensions in the series key are in the order “Basket.Hierarchy.Item”, with 2, 1 and 4 characters respectively. Although the character length for all codes are constant, not all observations have the same depth in the hierarchy, thus, shorter item codes have zeroes appended.
2. Hierarchy
The UNSD COICOP classification uses four hierarchical levels, which we use as our second dimension.
D
– Level 1: Division (two-digit)G
– Level 2: Group (three-digit)C
– Level 3: Class (four-digit)S
– Level 4: Subclass (five-digit)
These hierarchies also reflect in the item mnemonics. For example, within the the mnemonic, “Cigarettes” is a group, meaning it only requires two characters (CC
) to be identified. “Cigarettes” is thus represented by the code CC00
, where the appended zeroes are merely placeholders as we made all item codes a length of four. A subclass item such as “Men’s Jerseys”, by contrast, requires four unique characters WCMY
to be identified.
Regime 1: 1970 to 2000
There was relatively high continuity in basket item categorisations between years 1970, 1975, 1985, 1995 and 2000, so these all use the same codelist which we referred to as “Regime 1”. Please click on this paragraph for detail on the codelists.
Standardisation
The CPI weights data for years 1985, 1975 and 1970 did not add up to 100. The inaccuracies are not substantial, the most egregious example is the middle expenditure group for 1975 which totals 99.76. In order to ensure all totals add up to 100, the weights in the aforementioned years have been standardised.
The standardisation process was performed as follows:
- For a given expenditure quintile basket in a specific year the total of all weights is calculated, e.g. the middle expenditure group in 1975 had CPI weights totalling 99.76.
- Then a standardisation factor is calculated by dividing 100 by the total weights for that group.
- Each weight in that expenditure group is then transformed by multiplying the original weight by the standardisation factor for that group, yielding a standardised weight.
- After applying this standardisation technique to all weights, the summation of all weights should total 100.

We use the following codes for the first dimension, often representing expenditure quintile groups.

Regime 2: 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019
The basket item categorisations changed substantially in the 2008 data onwards and incorporates the System of National Accounts concepts, classification and methods of the CPI, hence it is given a different item codelist and we call that “Regime 2”. Please click on this paragraph for detail on the codelists.

Producer Price Index (PPI)
The Producer Price Index (PPI) reflects changes in the prices of locally produced commodities, encompassing both exports and domestically sold goods. The PPI measures the change in the prices of goods as they either leave their place of production or enter the production process. Please click on this paragraph to show detail.
In South Africa, the primary sources for PPI weights include industry surveys, censuses, and the System of National Accounts (SNA). Additional data sources are Stats SA survey data, administrative records, and industry association information, which help determine specific product weights within industries. Where detailed data are unavailable, existing proportions are adjusted at higher-level aggregates.

Residential Property Price Index (RPPI)
The RPPI aims to measure the rate of change in residential property prices purchased by households over time. It includes both new and existing dwellings, regardless of their final use or previous ownership, considering only market prices. These prices encompass the cost of the land on which the residential buildings are situated. Please click on this paragraph to show detail.
The primary data source for compiling the South African Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) is property transaction records registered with the Deeds office. The Deeds Registries Act (1937) mandates the registration of title deeds for all land ownership changes. The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) purchases this data from a third party, which performs quality assurance and adds a limited number of variables.
