The Commercial Software Price Index (CSPI) is a monthly series measuring the change in the purchase price of pre-packaged software typically bought by businesses and governments. The CSPI for January was 66.62 (2002=100), up 1.51% from December.
This index is available at the Canada level only.
Note: Effective today, the Commercial Software Price Index has been converted from a 2001 reference year to a 2002 reference year. As well, this index is now published with two decimal places.
The index has been arithmetically rebased so relative price changes will not be affected.
Available on CANSIM: table 331-0003.
Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 5068.
