NOTES: The current value is compared to the value from the same period
in the previous year to account for seasonality. The base period of the
original index is June 1986. January 1992 is set to be the new reference
point (=100) by dividing the values of the original index by the value
of January 1992 in the original index. It is important to point out that
this process changes only the reference point, and not the base period
of the index because the weight structure of the index did not change.
Data from February 2002 to May 2002 are preliminary. The base period
of the original index is June 1986. January 1992 is set to be the new
reference point (=100) by dividing the values of the original index by
the value of January 1992 in the original index. It is important to point
out that this process changes only the reference point, and not the base
period of the index because the weight structure of the index did not
change.
