St. Kitts and Nevis: Consumer price index (2010 = 100)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, St. Kitts and Nevis' consumer price index (2010 = 100) rose 3.81 on 2022 (from 107.02 to 110.82).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was +1.71 and a typical year strayed about 2.09 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.91 in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.49 in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 3% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Index of the prices of consumption goods and services, as compared to a certain reference period (2010=100).

Limitations: Consumer price indexes should be interpreted with caution. The definition of a household, the basket of goods, and the geographic (urban or rural) and income group coverage of consumer price surveys can vary widely by country. In addition, weights are derived from household expenditure surveys, which, for budgetary reasons, tend to be conducted infrequently in developing countries, impairing comparability over time. Although useful for measuring consumer price inflation within a country, consumer price indexes are of less value in comparing countries.
