Methodological description
It reflects the change in the average prices of consumer goods and services for the energy carriers group in the analyzed year in relation to the average prices of these goods and services in the previous year.
It is calculated based on the results of the survey of prices of goods and services in the retail market and the survey of household budgets, which provides data for the development of a weighting system.
When calculating the consumer price index for energy products, the Individual Consumption Classification by Purpose, adapted for the purposes of the Harmonized Indices of Consumer Prices (COICOP / HICP), is used.
The price index is calculated according to the Laspeyres formula, using weights from the year preceding the surveyed year.
