Abstract

The Colombo Consumers' Price Index (CCPI) which was introduced in 1952 by the Department of Census and Statistics and which is now published on the last working day of every month is the official index by which changes in price levels of consumer goods and services in Sri Lanka are measured. Since then the index has been used to date for very vital purposes as described below. It is used for multi-purpose functions such as :

                              for conversion of total current values of national income up to fixed values, 
                              policy making on monetary income and wages, 
                              payment of salaries and wages, 
                              providing social security facilities and analysis of economic and social activities. 

Thus the government mechanism and the non-government organizations use this index as the vital official measurement unit in the fields of financial, revenue, salaries, wages and socio-economic policy making.

Abstract

Data on the cost of a passport in the country of issue was collected by the World Bank in October 2005. The principal form of collection was through faxes, emails and telephone calls to the consular offices of each country having an embassy or consulate office in the United States. Other sources of information included websites of passport authorities, telephone calls and faxes to the relevant government ministry in charge of issuing passports in countries, and through staff in World Bank country offices. Passport costs were collected in local currency, and converted into United States dollars at the prevailing interbank exchange rate. After several follow-up attempts, data were able to be collected for passport costs in 127 countries.

In many countries there is not a single passport cost. An attempt to standardize was made by collecting the price of a first-time adult passport valid for five years duration, of the standard number of pages and obtained via the standard processing period. When the country only issues a 10-year passport, this is the price reported. The cost collected contains the cost of the passport itself, but not the cost of paying for photographs, birth certificates, or other such documents which are required along with the passport application.

This data collection presents a summary of selected producer prices of industrial products in the form of long-term overviews. The statistics of the producer prices of industrial products is, as well as the overall official price statistics, focused on the detection of changes in price. Therefore, their main findings are price indices and not average prices. The "index of producer prices for industrial products" measures on a representative basis the average development of effective selling prices of the mining and manufacturing as well as energy and water produced goods, sold on the domestic market (hence the additional term "domestic sales/Inlandsabsatz"). The index of producer prices for industrial products is calculated and published not only as a single row, but also for a large number of commodity groups on different aggregation levels. The applied structural principles of this calculation are since 1985 the so called “Systematic Nomenclature of Commodities for the Production Statistics / Systematisches Güterverzeichnis für die Produktionsstatistik”, to which also the description of the various index positions corresponds. This systematic replaced the older "Systematic of commodities for the industry statistics (WI) of the base years 1976 and 1980.

Die Statistik der Erzeugerpreise gewerblicher Produkte ist, wie die gesamte amtliche Preisstatistik, auf den Nachweis von Preisveränderungen ausgerichtet. Daher sind ihre wichtigsten Ergebnisse Preisindizes und Preismesszahlen und nicht Durchschnittspreise. Der „Index der Erzeugerpreise gewerblicher Produkte“ misst auf repräsentativer Grundlage die durchschnittliche Entwicklung der effektiven Verkaufspreise der vom Bergbau und Verarbeitenden Gewerbe sowie von der Energie- und Wasserversorgung erzeugten und am Inlandsmarkt abgesetzten Waren (daher der Zusatz „Inlandsabsatz“). Der Index der Erzeugerpreise gewerblicher Produkte wird nicht nur als Gesamtreihe, sondern für eine große Zahl von Gütergruppen verschiedener Aggregationsstufen berechnet und veröffentlicht. Die dabei angewandten Gliederungsprinzipien sind ab dem Basisjahr 1985 die des „Systematischen Güterverzeichnisses für Produktionsstatistiken“ (GP, verschiedene Ausgaben), dem auch die Beschreibung der verschiedenen Indexpositionen entspricht.
