    Glossary

    Inflation - an indicator that characterizes the change in time of the average price level for a fixed list of goods and services purchased by the population for personal consumption.

    Contribution - the amount of influence of the percentage change in the indicator on the overall value of inflation.

    Methodological explanations

    The consumer price index. which characterizes the level of inflation. reflects the change over time in the general level of prices for goods and services purchased by the population for personal consumption.

    The calculation of the consumer price index is based on information obtained from two sources:

    • data on price changes collected by their direct registration in specially selected for this purpose outlets and places of services;
    • household survey materials regarding the structure of actual consumer spending of the population.

    The collection of information on price changes is carried out in a selective circle of cities and regional centers. in all regional centers. in cities of republican significance and the capital. The choice of basic trade and service enterprises is carried out locally. Objects of all types of trade and paid services are selected so that the survey includes enterprises with different trading conditions and regularly selling goods (services) of mass demand.

    The set of goods and services for monitoring consumer prices and calculating the CPI is a single sample for all regions of Kazakhstan. The list of goods and services contains 537 items. which representatively includes the most representative types that occupy the largest share in the consumption of the population.

    The collection of information on prices is carried out directly at the places of sale of goods (services) by price registrars. Prices are fixed for goods paid on the day of the survey. including taxes. but excluding additional fees for their delivery.
