Book Description

A technical assistance (TA) mission was undertaken with the Economic Policy, Planning and Statistics Office (EPPSO) of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) between January 15-26, 2024. The mission assisted the EPPSO to update their consumer price index (CPI). The tasks completed included resampling the basket of goods and services and estimating new expenditure weights. The new weights are based on the results of the 2019/2020 household income and expenditure survey (HIES). An action plan for updating the CPI was developed and agreed with the authorities.
