Publication Compilation of the HICP weighting pattern for the year 2024 (price base December 2023)

An annual update of the weights of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) calculated for European purposes is carried out in accordance with Regulations (EU) 2016/792 and (EU) 2020/1148. The Corona pandemic prevailing in 2020, with its restrictions on public life and the resulting consequences, necessitates for the third year in a row a change in the usual approach to updating the goods weights.
