The Couriers and Messengers Services Price Index (CMSPI) declined 0.1% in July, after falling 0.1% in June. The 0.2% decline in the couriers component was partly offset by a 0.1% rise in the local messengers and local delivery component.

On a year-over-year basis, the CMSPI decreased 1.2% in July compared with the same month a year earlier. The couriers component (-0.6%) and the local messengers and local delivery component (-3.7%) both posted declines.
