ABSTRACT
This study details the effects of increasing Consumer Price Index (‘CPI,) geographical coverage on inflation in the country. The study looked at the level 0/significance of Headline inflation and its related components, bejbre and a/icr geographical coverage increment. A comparison ofanalytical results obtained with two diffrreni CPI coverage, inflation numbers with Fort Portal Centre included in the computations and inflation numbers without Fort Portal Centre. The study applied Student’s t—tesl for the comparison of two means assuming unequal variance. The before and a/icr study indicated that Mànthly Headline inflation is signiflcantly diffrrent across the two data sets (P (T< =1,) two-tail = 0.0096 is less than 0.05). In addition, the monthly core inflation is significantly di/frrent across the two inflation trends (P (T< =~ two-tail = 0.0003 is less than 0.05). However, the study showed that the monthly inflation of Food Crops and related items is not significantly dif/èrent across the two inflation trends, P (T
