Updated basket weights for the goods and services in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), representing consumer spending patterns in 2023, are now available. The 2023 basket will combine expenditure data from the Household Final Consumption Expenditures, the Survey of Household Spending and alternative data sources to account for shifts in spending.
The updated weights will be incorporated into the May 2024 CPI, which will be released on June 25, 2024. They will replace the previous weights, which were based on 2022 expenditure patterns.
The weight reference period for the new basket is 2023. The index base period for the all-items CPI remains 2002=100.
