In this data collection, data on consumer prices of products and services are collected from enterprises. Price data are also collected in other ways for the compilation of statistics: as total data supplied by enterprises, as collected by interviewers, by web scraping and as collection of data by statistical experts.
The collected data are primarily used in the Consumer Price Index, which describes the monthly price development of goods and services purchased by households in Finland, and it is used as a general measure of inflation.
