Methodological explanations
Consumer price indices (CPI) have been used since January 2009 as official inflation measure. Additionally, it is used as deflator in national accounts and turnover, for salaries and wages adjustment, pensions, social benefits, for adjustment of values in business and private agreements, etc.
Consumer price indices are defined as the measure of the average change of prices of the fixed basket of goods and services, which is purchased Consumer price indicesby households and which aims to satisfy the households’ needs. Remuneration in kind, life insurance and gifts are excluded. This list also excludes imputed rent, outlays for investments (dwellings, land, etc.).
Services include cleaning, sawing and repairs of clothing and footwear, rents, maintenance and repair of the dwelling, public utility services (except household water supply), services in respect of health, transport and personal transport equipment, communication, recreation and culture, education, insurance, personal care and other services. Goods are all products excluding services.
List of products is regularly updated so as to preserve its representative characteristics regarding structure of consumption and consumers’ habits.
Since 2016 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has been calculating the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices. This index is principally used for the comparison of inflation in EU countries, calculated according to the uniform methodology for the calculation of the Harmonised index of consumer prices.
The basic differences between CPI and HICP:
Use: CPI is used to measure the inflation in a country, and HICP is used to measure the inflation in EU.
Coverage: CPI covers final consumption of the resident population both in the country and abroad. HICP covers final consumption of the population, both resident and non-resident in a country.
Weights: Just as there are differences in the coverage, there are differences in weights. The starting point is the final consumption of population but the concepts are different. The national concept is applied for the national CPI and the domestic concept for HICP.
Classification: ECOICOP ver.2 is used for both indices.
List of products and services: The same list is used for products and services.
Calculation method: Laspeyre’s type of index is used for the calculation of both indices.
Both price indices are calculated for the territory of the Republic of Serbia.
From January 2026, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia started using the new International Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose ECOICOP ver.2 (COICOP2018) in calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the internationally comparable Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP). As a result, the compilation and publication of the CPI and HICP according to the previously valid ECOICOP classification have been ceased and the base year 2006=100 is changed to 2025=100.
The difference between these classifications is reflected in the number of divisions, groups and subgroups. The new classification has 13 divisions (two-digit classification level), and certain products and services have been transferred from one division, group or subgroup to another.
The methodology for calculating the index remains the same.
The consumer price indices published asccording to the old classification will remain available on SORS website.
The consumer price indices calculated according to the new classification, and on new basis, will be published in accordance with the Publication Calendar for 2026.
Starting from 1999 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide data relative to Kosovo and Metohia and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).
Data are published about 12th of each month and relate to the previous month, in the edition Statistical Release, with the mark CN 11, and they are also presented on the website of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia (http://www.stat.gov.rs/en-US/oblasti/cene/potrosacke-cene/).
