This program builds advanced skills in price statistics and index number construction with strong emphasis on practical application. It combines theoretical foundations with real-world data analysis to enhance decision-making and policy evaluation. Participants will develop the capacity to produce and interpret reliable price indicators.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how price statistics and index numbers is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for price index construction, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
