This records an increase from the previous number of 112.616 2010=100 for 2020. Hungary HU: Consumer Price Index (CPI): OECD Grouping: All Items: Non-Food Non-Energy data is updated yearly, averaging 72.683 2010=100 from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2021, with 32 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 117.737 2010=100 in 2021 and a record low of 8.515 2010=100 in 1990. Hungary HU: Consumer Price Index (CPI): OECD Grouping: All Items: Non-Food Non-Energy data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Hungary – Table HU.OECD.MEI: Consumer Price Index: COICOP 1999: OECD Member: Annual. The index measures average changes in the prices of a basket of goods and services bought for consumption purposes by households in Hungary. Types of prices: Prices reflect those that consumers would pay on the day of the survey, including sales taxes. Discounts and rebates that may apply to the specific products purchased are included, the consumer credit charges are excluded. Price collection methods: Most of the collection is done by personal visit to retail outlets using paper-based questionnaires; some major companies with a central pricing policy supply prices directly either via printed form or telephone; some prices are also collected from Internet. Price data of Budapest and the county of Pest are recorded in the Surveys Section, using the BLAISE programme while price data for the other counties and towns are recorded in the competence centre in Debrecen. Treatment of Rentals for housing: Included. Treatment of Owner-Occupied Housing: Included and the computation of imputed rent for owner-occupied housing is based on average price changes of the different repair items. Treatment of missing prices: When a price observation is temporarily unavailable in a given month, its price is imputed based upon the price movement of similar products in the same item category in the same geographical area. In particular, since 1998, missing prices are handled based on the method suggested by EUROSTAT ( 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1749/96) which replaces the price actually surveyed in the previous month - but missing in the reference month - by an estimated (imputed) price, using an index calculated from monthly county prices of the given representative item. The method can be used for two months, following this period of time the price of the product or service that is similar to the earlier one must be collected. Treatment of quality changes: The representative items are revised in every year. Introduction of new products: The list of items is reviewed each December, and when new products have gained sufficient market share they are added to the pricing sample. Treatment of seasonal products: The prices of seasonal items collected for pre-specified months. The HCSO uses the variable weight approach for fresh fruits and vegetables. During the year the weights for these groups are unchanged. However, inside the group the selected items have variable weights that can change month by month.; Index series starts in January 1980

Consumer price indexes (CPIs) are index numbers that measure changes in the prices of goods and services purchased or otherwise acquired by households, which households use directly, or indirectly, to satisfy their own needs and wants. In practice, most CPIs are calculated as weighted averages of the percentage price changes for a specified set, or ‘‘basket’’, of consumer products, the weights reflecting their relative importance in household consumption in some period. CPIs are widely used to index pensions and social security benefits. CPIs are also used to index other payments, such as interest payments or rents, or the prices of bonds. CPIs are also commonly used as a proxy for the general rate of inflation, even though they measure only consumer inflation. They are used by some governments or central banks to set inflation targets for purposes of monetary policy. The price data collected for CPI purposes can also be used to compile other indices, such as the price indices used to deflate household consumption expenditures in national accounts, or the purchasing power parities used to compare real levels of consumption in different countries.

In an effort to further coordinate and harmonize the collection of CPI data, the international organizations agreed that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) would assume responsibility for the international collection and dissemination of national CPI data. Under this data collection initiative, countries are reporting the aggregate all items index; more detailed indexes and weights for 12 subgroups of consumption expenditure (according to the so-called COICOP-classification), and detailed metadata. These detailed data represent a valuable resource for data users throughout the world and this portal would not be possible without the ongoing cooperation of all reporting countries. In this effort, the OECD collects and validates the data for their member countries, including accession and key partner countries, whereas the IMF takes care of the collection of data for all other countries.
