CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) November, 2016: PRESS RELEASE Released on Thursday December 22, 2016 at 1:00 pm NOVEMBER 2016 MONTHLY INFLATION RATE INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY The national monthly CPI (2008=100) increased from 177.89 per cent in October, 2016 to 182.74 per cent in November, 2016 resulting in a 2.73 per cent increase in inflation rate this month. Similarly, the monthly rates of inflation increased in all the regions. Western Area (1.95 per cent), Northern Region (3.10 per cent), Southern region(3.41 per cent) and the Eastern Region(3.71 per cent) comprising two centers, Kenema(3.82 per cent) and Kono (3.59 per cent) during the same period. Also, the national annual inflation rate for November, 2016 increased slightly from 12.56 per cent in October, 2016 to 15.26 per cent in November, 2016. Again, the year-on-year rates of inflation increased in Western region from 12.30 per cent in October, 2016 to14.2 per cent in November, 2016, in Northern region from 13.14 per cent to 16.40 per cent and in Southern region from 12.94 per cent to 15.91 per cent and in Eastern region from 11.85 per cent to 15.77 per cent. Figures 1a &1b below illustrate the movement in the year-on-year rates of inflation and monthly rates of inflation respectively for the National CPI and other CPI centers while table 1 below shows the National CPI from the months of November, 2015 to November, 2016 and the 12 month change in the CPI for the main index groups. FACTORS INFLUENCING CHANGES IN THE MONTHLY RATE OF INFLATION The national monthly CPI (2007=100) increased from 177.89 in October, 2016 to 182.74 per cent in November, 2016 resulting in a 2.73 per cent increase in inflation rate this month. The increase in both the monthly and annual rates of inflation in the month November, 2016 was mainly due to an official increase in the price of petrol from Le3,750 to Le6,000(60 per cent increase) reinforced by the depreciation of the Leone as againt the forex especially the US Dollar. This resulted into an increase in the cost of transport services and it has also brought about increases in the prices of most goods and services as producers responded to the increase in the cost of production by increasing prices of their goods. There was a general increase in the price level in all the four regions which affected most of the components in the CPI basket. At the national level, there was a significant increase in the index for food (2.30 per cent) due to the increase in both imported and local rice which led to an increase in the cost of food. The prices of food especially bread and cereals, meat, fish and seafood, oils and fats, etc increased in all centers. The other indices that slightly increased were housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuel(4.89 per cent), clothing and footwear(3.78 per cent), restaurant and hotel(4.07 per cent), furnishing and household maintenance(3.15 per cent)) and alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics(2.83 per cent)..

The National CPI measures the change in prices, on average, from month to month, of the goods and services bought by most households, in Freetown, Bo, Kenema and Makeni including all expenditure groups and both families and single persons. Prices are collected for 251 items. All prices collected are the prevailing retail market prices from six (6) markets in the Greater Freetown area, three (3) Markets in Bo Town, three (3) markets in Kenema Town and two (2) markets in Makeni Town for weekly prices and other outlets for monthly items whose prices are less likely to fluctuate rapidly. The National Index was computed by aggregating the CPI for the four index towns previously published separately with different base periods. The old CPI series for Bo, Kenema, Makeni and Freetown were rebased to base year 2003, Computation methodology changed from the Modified to the Traditional Laspeyres, and transformed into the Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP) with 12 functions. The separate center CPIs were aggregated at the sub-class level at which level new weights were also introduced to obtain the Interim National Index.
