In compiling the CPI, the Singapore Department of Statistics accounts for changes in quantity or packaging size, where possible, by adjusting the price data of the items tracked in the CPI basket on the basis of a fixed unit of measurement (e.g., price per 100g). The resulting price movement is reflected in the CPI as a pure price change.
