Notes:
n1/ In the CPI based December 2020 there is a new division called Financial Services and Insurance, which was part of the Goods and miscellaneous services division in the previous IPC bases. In addition, Accommodation was included in Entertainment and culture in the IPC based 2006 and has been included in Meals outside the home and accommodation services as of the IPC 2015.
n2/ In order to provide users with historical series that facilitate data comparability, the BCCR linked backward, from December 2020, the levels of the CPI 2020 divisions with the variations registered by the CPI consumption groups with the previous bases. The division of Miscellaneous Goods and Services was excepted, that was calculated taking into account the composition of its basket for 2020.
