Monthly release notes

July 2023

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 Guide to the Post Index, which was revised in June 2010, remains available.

Other Post Index adjustments are based on our continuing monthly reviews. These adjustments are based on shifts in the value of the respective currencies used at the post relative to the Canadian dollar. Comparative changes in consumer prices at posts and in Ottawa since the last survey at either location are also taken into account.
