Ukraine's Cumulative (Chain) Consumer Price Index, National, Regional and Commodity-Group Levels, 2001-2025
Description
This dataset provides an annual cumulative (chain-linked) price index for Ukraine, built by compounding official year-on-year CPI change (December-to-December) at three levels: national, 27 regions, and 12 COICOP-aligned commodity/service groups. The index is rebased to 100 at end-2000, so it shows the multiple by which prices have risen since then for each entity. The dataset supports estimation of the real loss of purchasing power of the hryvnia over 25 years, deflation of nominal time series (wages, budget revenues, GDP), and long-run comparative analysis across regions and commodity groups. METHODOLOGY & SOURCES The underlying annual CPI change figures (cpi_annual_growth_pct) are taken directly from Derzhstat's official Consumer Price Index publication and are not modified. The cumulative_price_index column is calculated by the author using the standard compound-growth (chain-linking) formula: index_t = index_(t-1) * (1 + cpi_annual_growth_pct_t / 100), with index_2000 = 100 For the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, Derzhstat has not published CPI since 2014 (see the Regional CPI Panel dataset in this series for the underlying gap). Because a valid cumulative index cannot be computed across an undocumented gap, cumulative_price_index for these two entities is left blank from 2014 onward rather than estimated or held flat.
