    The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a key economic indicator that measures the weighted aggregate change in retail prices of goods and services purchased by households in Somalia. It serves as the primary gauge of inflation, enabling policymakers, businesses, and researchers to assess price trends and make informed economic decisions. Since January 2025, Somalia CPI is released considering new weights derived from 2022 Somalia Integrated Households’ Budget Survey (SIHBS), adopting the new households’ consumption classification (COICOP 2018), and representing all the Federal Members States. A Methodological Note will be made available on the SNBS web site.
