      The CPI is an indicator that shows changes in the cost of buying a fixed bundle of consumer goods and services as determined for the base period. Methodology to calculate CPI: Prices are collected every month in twelve urban areas and about seventy selected rural areas of Lesotho by personal visits to the outlets. About 40000 price quotations are collected in about 800 outlets for about 350 commodity items. The formula used in calculating the price indices is Modified Laspeyres index formula with elementary price indices being calculated using geometric mean. The officially accepted method of measuring inflation rate in Lesotho is the index for the current month compared with that of the corresponding month in the previous year.
