Consumer prices; contribution and impact, HICP 2015=100

This table contains figures on the annual change in spending categories of the Harmonised Consumer Price Index (HICP). Each category also shows how much the Dutch consumer spends on it in relation to his total expenditure. This is called the weighting coefficient. In addition, the table shows the contribution and impact of HICP spending categories. The contributions from the individual categories add up to the total annual change in HICP and show the share of the price increase in the annual change in HICP. On the other hand, the impact responds to the question of how much higher or lower the annual change would be HICP if a particular category were not used to measure the annual change HICP. These figures can be viewed over 141 product groups. Furthermore, there are 34 aggregations of product groups (special aggregates) in the table. Data available from: January 2016. Status of the figures: At Eurostat’s request, the HICP publications for the Netherlands no longer have a standard distinction between the first provisional results and later final results. Results of the HICP are characterised as preliminary only if it is already known at the time of publication that data are still incomplete, a revision is expected in a later month, or in special circumstances such as the corona crisis. In most cases, all the price information requested is known to CBS when the first results are published and no adjustment will take place later. However, sometimes certain price information is not available on time and the outcome can be adjusted later. HICP outcomes can then always be revised at the same time as the CPI outcomes, even if they were not published as provisional in the previous month. CPI results are marked as provisional at first publication, the month on which the figures are final. Changes compared to the previous version: Data about a new period has been added and/or adjusted. Amendments as of 9 June 2022: The unit of contribution to the annual change and the impact on the annual change has been adjusted to ‘percent point’. Previously, the table incorrectly listed ‘percent’ as a unit. When are new figures coming? The new figures are usually published on the first Thursday of the month. Unless the first Thursday falls on the first, second or third day of the month or public holidays just before or on this Thursday. Then the new figures will be published the following Tuesday.
