The Second technical meeting on special surveys and household consumption price validation of the International Comparison Program (ICP), Cycle 2024 - Latin America and the Caribbean will be held virtually on December 10 and 11, 2025. Organized by the Statistics Division of ECLAC and the World Bank, it seeks to review regional progress in terms of coverage, cross-country validation and next steps of the ICP 2024 cycle.

The first day will focus on price validation for special surveys, including:

  • Private Education
  • Housing Rentals
  • Construction
  • Machinery and Equipment

The session will also cover regional coverage per questionnaire, identification of potential errors by heading and item, and the tools available for the validation process.

The second day will be dedicated to validating final household consumption prices, with specific sessions for the different COICOP divisions, such as food, beverages, housing, health, transportation, recreation, restaurants, hotels, and other goods and services. Outstanding deadlines and required supplementary information -CPI, population, housing volume, MORES data, and metadata- will also be reviewed in preparation for the next stages of the cycle.
