The analysis of Post Index surveys has been completed at the following locations.
The results include the analysis of prices and costs for goods and services
purchased on the local economy or from import sources at the time these surveys

Other Post Index adjustments are indicated on the basis of our continuing monthly
reviews. These adjustments are predicated on shifts in the current values of
the respective currencies used at the posts relative to the Canadian dollar.
They also take into account comparative rates of change in consumer prices at
these posts and in Ottawa since the last surveys were carried out.
