Population & Scope Population & Scope Statistical population Statistical populationThe 'Consumer Prices (MEI)' dataset contains predominantly monthly statistics, and associated statistical methodological information, for the 35 OECD member countries and for some non-member countries.
The ‘Consumer Prices (MEI)’ dataset itself contains statistics on Consumer Price Indices. The data series presented have been chosen as the most relevant prices statistics for which comparable data across countries is available. In all cases a lot of effort has been made to ensure that the data are internationally comparable across all countries presented and that all the subjects have good historical time-series’ data to aid with analysis. Data are available monthly for all the countries except for Australia and New Zealand (quarterly data), and are presented as an index where the year 2010 is the base year.

Other Aspects Other Aspects Recommended uses and limitations Recommended uses and limitationsIndicators have been prepared by national statistical agencies primarily to meet the requirements of users within their own country. In most instances, the indicators are compiled in accordance with international statistical guidelines and recommendations. However, national practices may depart from these guidelines, and these departures may impact on comparability between countries; in such cases the deviations from practices are described in metadata for the relevant county and subject coordinates. There is an on-going process to review and improve the contents of the database in order to maximise the relevance of the database for short-term economic analysis, for example, through the inclusion of new indicators reflecting new areas of analysis and policy making. In June 2010, the way of calculating CPI target series has been reviewed. As a result, some CPI series have been revised.
