The Retail Price Survey collects retail prices of goods and services commonly purchased by Filipino households and is one of the data sources used to generate the Consumer Price Index.

The Consumer Price Index tracks changes in the prices of a fixed basket of goods and services typically purchased by households and serves as a key measure of inflation.

The survey is conducted twice a month to provide timely information on prevailing market prices of selected commodities.
