- 141. Your Guide to the Consumer Price Index ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 62-557-XDescription:
This publication was prepared for the general public interested in obtaining a brief non-technical introduction the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It poses and answers some of the more frequently asked questions relating to the construction, interpretation and use of this index.
Release date: 1998-04-01 - Articles and reports: 62F0014M1996001Geography: CanadaDescription: For decades, Canadians have been living in an inflationary environment. Everyone remembers that at some point in the past, consumer goods and services cost less. Even young people know that a candy bar cost less five or ten years ago than it does now. Thus the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar has gradually declined over the years.
Even though everyone knows that things cost more now than in the past, there are situations in which this seems to be forgotten. The purpose of this article is to present a situation that shows the illusion of wealth that fairly long-term inflation can foster. We begin by looking at how inflation and income tax affect a retired person's interest income for a given year. Then we look at the effects of inflation and income tax on interest income over a longer period. When taxation is not factored in, the situation is one of investing inside a registered retirement savings plan.

The analysis constructs analytical price index series for Canada using the main OA measurement concepts proposed in the International Consumer Price Index Manual and widely adopted internationally. The study examines how OA and the all-items CPI may have evolved from 2004 to 2025 under different methodologies. The inclusion of asking-rent–based RE measures aims to better capture secondary rental market dynamics and provide more timely insights into how rent movements affect OA and the all-items CPI.Release date: 2026-05-26

- Articles and reports: 11-621-M2025003Description: This study delves into the contributing claims and cost factors that have impacted the premiums consumers pay for auto insurance and the financial pressures insurers face. The engine type, brand name, and location of the vehicle have contributed, in addition to the overall rising cost of repairs, parts, and the vehicles themselves.

Claims severity impacted by the aforementioned as well as thefts and extreme weather, have contributed to the fact that owning a vehicle and insuring a vehicle has become more costly since 2020.Release date: 2025-04-02
