Table explanation


This table presents figures on the price development of a package of goods and services that an average household on the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba purchases. This is referred to as the consumer price index (CPI). In addition, the table shows the quarterly and annual change of the CPI. The figures are available for 12 product groups. For each product group, it also shows how much consumers spend on it in relation to their total expenditure. We call this the weighting coefficient.

The table also includes the flash estimate for Bonaire. The flash estimate is made only for the total level.

Data available from: first quarter 2010 and for the flash estimate from the first quarter of 2025.

Status of figures: price indices in this table for the first quarter of 2026 are provisional. At the publication for the second quarter of 2026, they will be final.

The flash for Bonaire gives an indication of the price development at the total level for Bonaire during one quarter. The flashes are calculated based on the first and first two months of a quarter, respectively. In the second month of a quarter the CPI changes are published based on the data of the first month. In the third month of the quarter, a second flash follows based on the data for the first two months of the quarter. The second estimate overwrites the first estimate and the second estimate is overwritten, after the end of the quarter, by the provisional quarterly index. The flash is not suitable to be used for indexation, hence no indices are published. The flash is marked as provisional.

When will there be new figures?

The next flash estimate will be published in May 2026.
The new price indices will be published in July 2026.
