June 2008

Since May 2000, the Extended National Consumer Price Index- 15, IPCA-15 , has been available on the Internet. The data collection period of the survey goes approximately from the 15th day of the previous month to the 15th of the month of reference.

IPCA-15 IPCA-15 is calculated through the same methodology of the IPCA, which collects price information throughout the calendar month. The collection period constitutes the main difference between the two indexes. The reference collection of data for IPCA-15 started on May 16 and ended on June 13, 2008. Prices in effect in this period were compared to those charged in the period between April 15 and May 15, 2008.

The target population of IPCA-15 includes families with monthly income, from any source, ranging from 1 (one) to 40 (forty) minimum wages and dwelling in the metropolitan areas of Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Recife, São Paulo, Belém, Fortaleza, Salvador and Curitiba, besides Brasília and Goiânia.
