This regional seminar was organized by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), through the Statistics Division, and by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) and is part of the activities of  the 14th Tranche of the United Nations Development Account (DA-14).

The purpose of the meeting is to promote resilient and agile statistics that meet the need for post-COVID-19 data for better decision-making to recover and monitor economic disparities. In this sense, innovation in the sources of data collection and the integration of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the International Comparison Program (ICP) are raised. Furthermore, the event will focus on the regional panorama to acknowledge regional experiences in the new challenges of innovative information sources to collect price data such as scanner data and web scraping. Finally, good practices in the implementation of the ICP will be reviewed with two case studies showing the challenges and steps to follow for the implementation and integration of the CPI-ICP.
