Upcoming update to the capital goods price index
We aim to deliver a reweighted and rebased capital goods price index (CGPI) in the December 2022 quarter release (to be published on 21 February 2023). The update will include structural changes to better align with the national accounts. We will publish more information about the update in Price index methods: updates for December 2022 quarter.
In the meantime, see Price index methods – updates for the September 2022 quarter for published information about the CGPI update.
BPI data quality updates
In the September 2022 quarter, the overall response rate was 85.5 percent, below the target response rate of 96 percent. However, the response rate for key firms was 98.8 percent.
The lower response rate has required higher levels of imputation, where we carried forward previous prices for the relevant respondent that did not reply.
