- Articles and reports: 62F0014M2025002Description: Statistics Canada is enhancing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) by better leveraging existing data to update the methodology to estimate price indexes for passenger vehicle insurance and homeowners’ home insurance. This paper presents an updated estimation methodology that uses hedonic quality adjustment applied to brokerage quote data. This approach estimates the price change of insurance premiums while holding price-influencing characteristics constant.Release date: 2025-04-15
- Articles and reports: 11-621-M2025003Description: This study delves into the contributing claims and cost factors that have impacted the premiums consumers pay for auto insurance and the financial pressures insurers face. The engine type, brand name, and location of the vehicle have contributed, in addition to the overall rising cost of repairs, parts, and the vehicles themselves. Coverage types, and provincial regulation have also impacted both insurers and consumers alike, disproportionally impacting certain provinces. Claims severity impacted by the aforementioned as well as thefts and extreme weather, have contributed to the fact that owning a vehicle and insuring a vehicle has become more costly since 2020.Release date: 2025-04-02

- 5. Shrinking products, rising prices: Food-specific quantity adjustments in the Consumer Price IndexStats in brief: 11-627-M2025016Description: This infographic looks at the frequency of "shrinkflation" occurring in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), specifically in the food component between 2021 and 2023. "Shrinkflation" refers to the practice of selling a smaller quantity of a product at the same price as the larger size previously offered. Any change in the quality or quantity of a product or service is taken into account in the calculation of the CPI.Release date: 2025-02-18
- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2025001Description: Markups, the ratio of price over marginal cost of a product, can be used as a measure of market power. The increase in markups is associated with lower consumer welfare, increased inefficiency and fewer firm dynamics in an economy. Therefore, it is important to know the dynamic of markups over time. Recently, a wave of “production function” approaches has been used to estimate markups using accounting data at the firm level. However, the literature on firm-level markup estimation suffers from two problems: the lack of a reliable measure of variable input cost and the sample selection bias due to the use of only publicly traded firms. To address these issues, this paper uses firm-level accounting data from the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File (NALMF) maintained by Statistics Canada.Release date: 2025-01-21

- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400500005Description: Headline inflation in Canada reached a 40-year high in 2022. Rising prices reduced the purchasing power of people whose incomes were not keeping pace with inflation and the current high inflation in Canada, as well as in many other countries, may be caused by both demand and supply factors. This article examines whether the current high inflation in Canada is demand–pull or supply–push.Release date: 2024-05-22

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 62F0072GDescription: The primary source of data used in post index construction are periodic retail-price and cost-of-living surveys conducted at foreign locations by the foreign service personnel stationed there. Statistics Canada analyses this survey data. In addition to a variety of price information gathered from retail outlets patronized by Canadian personnel at the post, data are also obtained regarding their spending patterns, along with information on the availability of any special local purchasing facilities, and the extent to which staff make direct importation of consumer goods from other countries. The general aim is for full-scale surveys to be carried out at about three-year intervals. However, specific studies may be undertaken more or less frequently than this, depending on the volatility of retail price conditions in each particular country, the instability of exchange rates and the extent to which close monitoring of changes in the local retail price situation being faced by Canadian personnel can be achieved through reference to other statistical indicators.Release date: 2023-12-22

Release date: 2023-02-20 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X201700014751Description:
Practically all major retailers use scanners to record the information on their transactions with clients (consumers). These data normally include the product code, a brief description, the price and the quantity sold. This is an extremely relevant data source for statistical programs such as Statistics Canada’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), one of Canada’s most important economic indicators. Using scanner data could improve the quality of the CPI by increasing the number of prices used in calculations, expanding geographic coverage and including the quantities sold, among other things, while lowering data collection costs. However, using these data presents many challenges. An examination of scanner data from a first retailer revealed a high rate of change in product identification codes over a one-year period. The effects of these changes pose challenges from a product classification and estimate quality perspective. This article focuses on the issues associated with acquiring, classifying and examining these data to assess their quality for use in the CPI.
Release date: 2016-03-24 - 4. The Consumer Price Index and You - Teacher's Kit ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 62-560-XDescription:
This teacher's kit helps students understand how the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects price changes for the goods and services they buy.
The Custom Inflation Simulator is a Web-based resource that demonstrates how the many consumer goods and services in the 'basket' are used to calculate the CPI, and how consumption patterns differ from person to person. Using the simulator, students can also see the effect of individual price increases on overall inflation, in other words how each item in the basket is 'weighted' to reflect its importance in Canadians' consumption patterns.
Release date: 2004-10-01 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 62-014-XDescription:
The growth in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector has created a need for more sector-specific economic indicators. Prices Division at Statistics Canada (STC) currently produces price indexes for several ICT goods that include computers and computer equipment or peripherals (e.g., printers and monitors). These indexes measure the price movement of ICT goods at the final or end-purchaser level (i.e., government, businesses and households) for consumption. The ICT price index series are used by economists, industry analysts and the general public to track and comprehend events and trends as they occur in this important area of the ICT sector. Within STC, the series pertaining to consumers are used in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index. In addition, several series are used by the Canadian System of National Accounts in deflating the value of gross investment by government and businesses. This reference document outlines what ICT goods price indexes are produced and their underlying data sources and methodology.

These Indexes are calculated for persons who do not have special access privileges and may be used by non-government organizations. They are comparative measurements that numerically express the difference between the retail prices of a representative basket of goods and services at a foreign location with prices for a similar basket of goods and services in Ottawa. Interested users should contact Statistics Canada to ensure the use of these indexes is appropriate for their needs. Customized indexes that reflect specific circumstances can be produced.

Release date: 1998-04-01 - Notices and consultations: 62-010-X19970023422Description:
The current official time base of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is 1986=100. This time base was first used when the CPI for June 1990 was released. Statistics Canada is about to convert all price index series to the time base 1992=100. As a result, all constant dollar series will be converted to 1992 dollars. The CPI will shift to the new time base when the CPI for January 1998 is released on February 27th, 1998.
