3 .PRICE INDICES IRAN STATISTICAL YEARBOOK Introduction Below you will find a short history of examination of prices and calculation of the related indices for urban and rural areas by both the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the SCI. A. Consumer price index of urban households, producer price index, wholesale price index for goods and price index for goods exported The National Bank of Iran first calculated the cost of living index in urban areas and wholesale price index for goods in the year. In the year, the calculation of the cost of living index and wholesale price index for goods was revised due to change of the base year. By establishment of the Central Bank of Iran in the year, the responsibility for calculating such indices was shifted to this Bank. With respect to remarkable changes in households consumption patterns and expenditure composition, the Central Bank of Iran took the year as the base and made the second revision in the calculation of cost of living index and wholesale price index for goods. The year witnessed some changes in national economic conditions, which caused it to be selected as the new base year, and the indices calculation underwent the third revision. Considering the changes happened in the household consumption pattern in the years after the Islamic Revolution, the year was adopted as the base and the indices calculation was revised again. In the year after the end of the Iran-Iraq War, which caused changes in economic conditions, revision in the base year was considered necessary and the Central Bank of Iran adopted the year as the new base for the calculation. In the year the Central Bank of Iran changed the base year from the year to the year for calculation of price index of consumption goods and services in urban areas. Moreover, since the year, this index was calculated and disseminated on the basis of the base year. It should be mentioned that the Statistical Centre of Iran started to calculate this index from the year and it was decided that from the year, the information on this index be calculated according to the base year. It should be mentioned that the Statistical Centre of Iran calculated the information on this index based on the base year and published them in the Statistical Yearbook. Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran started calculation of the producer price index in the year. The most important uses of the index are early revealing of inflation trend and its application in national accounts for adjusting current prices. The related publications appear quarterly and annually. Calculation of the price index for exported commoditie started in the year in order to show changes in prices of exported goods. Figures relating to price index for exported and imported goods s were based on information obtained from the wholesalers involved in exports and imports. But, from the year on, statistics on exported goods, included in this chapter, is the very information obtained from the Customs, which covers all exported items.

4 .PRICE INDICES IRAN STATISTICAL YEARBOOK It should be said that since the year the information of Wholesale price index for goods is not produced in Iran; therefore, the related tables (- and - in yearbooks) have been deleted from the yearbook. B. Consumer price index for rural households The SCI conducted the retail price survey of certain consumer goods and services in rural areas for the first time in the year.the results of the survey used to be published in the form of average prices of consumer goods and services in rural areas as quarterly and annual reports until mid-. The results of the survey for the second half of and the first half of the year were released as average prices and consumer price indices for rural households. Consumer price indices for goods and services for rural households were calculated and released from the year to the year with the year as the base. Moreover, the year was adopted as the base year in the year, and the statistics for the years to were prepared and disseminated by Ostans and total country. At present, according to the latest revisions, the year has been adopted as the base for calculation. Definitions and concepts Consumer price index (CPI): is a measure of changes over the base year in prices of a certain fixed number of goods and services consumed by households. Classification of groups for goods and services: goods and services subject to indices are classified according to their intrinsic nature and international classifications as well as national requirements. However, the overall bases of classifications are those recommended by the United Nations (i.e, the SNA for consumer index for goods and services, the SITC for wholesale trade, and ISIC Rev. for producer) and modified with respect to the economy considerations of Iran. In these classifications, goods and services are divided into a number of large groups, each of which consists of several sub-groups. Moreover, groups of goods and services are also classified according to special groups in terms of requirements. Base year: is a certain fixed year against which percentage of changes of indices are compared. The index for the base year is equal to. Weight: contribution of any single good or service to the set of goods and services subject to indices is called "weight". In consumer price indexes for goods and services, contribution of any single good or service equals to a proportion of expenditure spent by a household to the total household expenditure. In wholesale price index, contribution of any single good is equal to selling value of wholesale of goods to the total value of wholesale of goods. In producer price index, contribution of any single good or service is equal to proportion of the production value or selling value of a single good/service to the production or selling value of the set of goods and services. Urban areas: see Chapter, Definitions and concepts. Rural areas: see Chapter, Definitions and concepts. Producer price index (PPI): shows the trend of changes in prices paid to producers in different economic sectors such as agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, mining and services. Producer price refers to the price which the purchaser pays to the producer for purchasing each commodity; it also represents the selling price of goods or services produced and supplied to wholesalers, domestic retail sellers and other industries and/or exported to foreign countries. Price index for exported commodities: measures changes in goods prices exported. Exported commoditiesinclude all commodities which are completely produced inside the country or exported as semi-finished goods or raw material.
