1. INTRODUCTION This Publication is the 27th in the series of Special Publications on price data released by the Department of Census and Statistics. The present issue contains price data on consumer goods purchased in Colombo City and in the 23 Districts except Mullative and Kilinochchi districts. Graphs are included which illustrate the monthly movements of the Colombo Consumers' Price Index (CCPI), and its major components. The fourteen main tables in this publication are divided into six major categories: (1) Annual and monthly data for major components in CCPI (Base :2002 =100) (2) Retail Prices of selected consumers' goods collected from the open market in Colombo City. (3) All Island Retail Prices for selected food Items. (4) Retail Prices for selected food Items by Districts. (5) All Island Producer Prices for selected food and livestock Items. (6) Producer Prices for selected Agricultural products by districts. Colombo Consumers’ Price Index (CCPI) A reliable, accurate and timely available measure of price movements of goods and services is needed to assess inflationary pressure in a country and for policy formulation to achieve price stability, the key objective of monetary policy. In most countries, a Consumer Price Index (CPI) is used for this purpose. The CPI is a social and economic indicator constructed to measure changes over time in the general level of prices of consumer goods and services that a representative group of households acquire, use or pay for consumption. In other words, a CPI measures over period of time, the change in the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services commonly purchased by majority of households. If the quantity and quality of this market basket is held constant at the base period, the index solely reflects price changes. It is designed as a measure of the impact of price changes on the purchase of fixed market basket of consumer goods and services among the households that a target population group uses, for consumption. It is estimated as a weighted average of the prices of a sample of goods and services obtained from selected markets in a defined geographical area. A CPI serves a number of purposes. It is essential as an objective measure of the changes in the general level of prices, i.e., inflation. It is used for deflation of current value aggregates in national accounts; for formulation of policy for the determination and evaluation of wages and other monetary incomes; for indexation of wages, salaries and social security benefits and for economic and social analyses. 3
An inappropriate index could give misleading information about the price changes over time, adversely affecting determination of correct policies, particularly monetary policies, and providing misleading assessment about economic performance and the social and economic impacts of policies. In most countries, the national Consumer Price Index (CPI) is used for various different uses, and these uses can have conflicting requirements with regard to CPI definition and coverage. In Sri Lanka, this conflict seems particularly acute, and the only index used for this purpose for more than five and a half decades was Colombo Consumers’ Price Index (CCPI), computed by the Department of Census and Statistics (DCS), with 1952 as the base year. Partly as a result of the legal position of the official CPI as a basis for determining wages, the use of 1952 as the base year had been irrelevant today in measuring general inflation. Colombo Consumers’ Price Index (CCPI) had been used as the official CPI of Sri Lanka, from 1953 to November 2007 when a new Colombo Consumers’ Price Index was introduced. The weights for consumer items in the CCPI was based on the average household expenditure of a sample of 455 working class households determined by the Colombo family budget survey of 1949‐1950 and re‐valued at the annual average prices of 1952 which was considered as the base year. Since the index was more than 5½ decades old and significant changes in consumer habits and family income on the demand side, and in the range and availability of goods and services on the supply side have taken place, it was no longer a good indicator of current changes in retail prices. Though the CCPI served as a measure of general inflation at the time of its introduction, with many structural changes that had occurred since then, its applicability had been limited today. The soundness of a CPI depends on the extent to which it captures the consumption pattern of an average household in the reference population. The items to be chosen for constructing a CPI and relative weights assigned to them need to be based on findings of a Socio‐Economic Survey on consumption patterns of the targeted group. The relative importance of each item consumed by the household is represented by the aggregate weight assigned to each item in the index determined normally through income and household surveys conducted periodically. CCPI, the oldest index in Sri Lanka, was based on the monthly spending patterns of 455 working class households who lived in the Colombo Municipal area in 1949/50. Consequently, the CCPI could not be considered as the best measure of inflation currently prevailing in the country for the following reasons: i. It does not represent true changes in costs in line with changing consumption patterns. The range and availability of goods and services have widened over the years, but these new items have not been included in the index. 4
ii. The index is highly sensitive to the prices of a few items due to unrealistic weights attached to those items, based on the outdated‐consumption pattern. iii. It has limited in scope, both in terms of coverage of geographical areas and income groups. Recognizing the need for a new and more reliable index of consumer price changes, the DCS had on 6 previous occasions, in 1960, 1972, 1978, 1983, 1990 and 2002, constructed revised series of index numbers. However these were not adopted, and in spite of its limitations, the old CCPI with its outdated base of 1952 had continued to be the sole index used in the country. The new Colombo consumer price index CCPI, is based on the Household Income and Expenditure Survey conducted in 2002, and its main features are as follows: Salient features of CCPI Base Period ‐ 2002 = 100 Target Population ‐ All urban Geographical Coverage ‐ Colombo District Sample size ‐ 1300 Households Price collection centres ‐ 12 Number of items ‐ 334 Groups ‐ 10 Classes ‐ Weights – Food Non‐food Total Basket value 83 ‐ 46.7 ‐ 53.3 ‐ Rs. 17,996.38 Value of one index points ‐ Rs. 179.96 Coverage of consumers living in different areas in Colombo district: The urban area of Colombo District which is defined to include the urban localities of the municipal councils of Colombo,, Sri Jayawardenapura, Dehiwala‐Mt. Lavinia, and Moratuwa, and urban councils of; Kolonnawa, Seethawakapura, Maharagama,, Kesbawa and Borelasgamuwa. Coverage of all socio‐economic groups: Households covering all socio‐economic groups in the above‐listed areas of Colombo District are included. The average household size was 4.5 persons in 2002, the base period of CCPI. Twelve price collection centres: The number of price collection centres was 12 for the index. They are Pettah, Maradana, Wellawatta, Dematagoda, Grandpass, Borella, Kirilapana, Dehiwala, Kotte, Nugegoda, Kolonnawa and Ratmalana . 5
Exclusion of alcohol, tobacco and narcotics: The CCPI does not include alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics as an expenditure item in the consumption basket, consistent with government policy of discouraging their consumption. Laspeyres base weighted price formula: The computing CCPI is use Laspeyres base weighted price index formula as shown in Equation (1):. Laspeyres Formula Pit Qi 0

Collection of Price Data In principle, relevant prices for a CPI should be those actually paid by households, but collecting prices every month directly from households is neither practical nor cost effective. However, expenditure data are collected directly from households in household expenditure surveys. In practice, the prices that are collected are not actual transaction prices, but rather prices at which good and services are offered for sale in outlets such as retail shops, supermarkets or service providers The price collecting centres for the CCPI, they are Pettah, Maradana, Wellawatta, Dematagoda, Grandpass, Borella, Kirulapana, Dehiwala, Kotte, Nugegoda, Kolonnawa and Ratamalana. Prices of all goods and services in the basket for the CCPI are collected, and its frequency depends on the nature of the commodity. The mentioned below are some details of price data collection: • Prices of those goods which tend to vary more often are collected more frequently than monthly, e.g., Vegetables, fresh fish, rice, fruits, etc. • Prices of those goods which do not vary very often are collected less frequently than monthly, e.g., Textile and Footwear. • Over 95 per cent of the price quotes used in the new CCPI is collected by personal visits. • Price collectors are employees in the Department of Census and Statistics, who have been trained and equipped with descriptions of the items to be observed and forms for entering price data. • Price data are collected only from selected outlets during a specific period for given specifications of items. • Detailed specifications and conventions for items are given to ensure consistency of the price data.

The CCPI is a more reliable indicator of overall movements in consumer prices since it covers a wider spectrum of consumer goods and services. Therefore, the index CCPI (Base 2002=100) is now used as the official index for measuring inflation in Sri Lanka from April 2008. METHODS OF PRICE COLLECTION: Prices for items in the Colombo Consumers' Price Index are collected from the Colombo Municipal market areas of Pettah, Maradana, Grandpass, Dematagoda, Borella, Wellawatta and Kirulapona. These prices are collected weekly from outlets located within each of the above market areas, other statutory bodies (within the Colombo Municipality). The Officials who collect the data make test purchases of certain commodities in order to ensure that pricing is made more realistic. This price paid is compared against the list of the prices for items given to the price collection officers. These lists contain the names of the buying sites, which permits subsequent verification. As for specifications of items to be priced, the officers are carefully instructed about the procedures of data collection. Such specifications are in accordance with the varieties of items that are normally available. Test purchasing is conducted on weekly basis. The assigning of the statistical staff for price collections in different markets are done, on rotation, so as to prevent an officer visiting the same market more than once. Those making test purchases are instructed to buy as ordinary members of the public and not as officials. In order to ensure independence of prices the officers are detailed to collect prices in a different area each times. A check on the prices furnished by the Statistical Officers is maintained by the Senior Statisticians‐in‐charge, with the assistance of Statisticians who are sent out on price checking to the areas mentioned above. The items test‐purchased are closely scrutinized and weighted at the Head Office to check the accuracy of the quantities, weights and the prices against the price statements prepared by the Statistical Officers. In general, the prices collected are the transaction retail prices paid by the consumer. For certain items sold in the free market and at official stores, (co‐
operative Stores), a weighted average of prices is calculated, with weights assigned in proportion to the estimated quantities sold in the two groups of outlets. In the case of fresh fish, the prices quoted for seer, paraw, mullet, salaya, balaya and shark are the average prices prevailing in markets in the Colombo Municipality. The prices of commodities other than vegetables and fish are also collected from Co‐operative Stores and other private retail outlets in the Colombo Municipal areas. 8
