This is to advise you of the renewed validity of Post Indexes calculated for the purpose of the Post Living Allowance applicable to Canadian Government expatriate personnel or persons under contract. All users must consult with Statistics Canada to ensure that the appropriate index is used.

The analysis of Post Index surveys has been completed for the following locations. The results incorporate the analysis of prices and costs for goods and services purchased in the local economy or from import sources at the time these surveys were carried out, as well as adjustments to the indexes as indicated by our continuing monthly reviews.
