Abstract: The Corporate Goods Price Index has been rebased and the base year of the index has been updated from 2005 to 2010. The rebasing, which is conducted once every 5 years, consists of the following revisions: (1) updating the base year; (2) updating the weights assigned to commodities and groups; (3) amending commodities (e.g., by adding new commodities and consolidating, deleting and splitting existing commodity groups); and (4) improving methods for the conduct of price surveys and index compilation. This article presents an overview of the results of this rebasing.
