^{^5/}In January 1993, a new consumer price index was introduced, with revised expenditure weights, a new base year (1992), and a revised breakdown of expenditure categories (see Table 12). For illustrative purposes, the old index (1978 = 100) has been extended into 1993 by splicing it together with new index (1992=100) using a linking factor derived from the relationship between the January 1993 index number under both indices (linking factor = 744.2).
