Notice: Within the development process in calculating the Palestinian Consumer Price Index, the relative weight of the Palestinian regions "West Bank**, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem J1*" was taken into consideration at the detailed level of the main groups and subgroups of expenditure when calculating the Palestinian Consumer Price Index; instead of using the relative weight at general level of the regions. Accordingly, the Consumer Price Index for 12/2019 was recalculated in order to link between time series and to apply the international recommendations in this regard.

J1* those parts of Jerusalem which were annexed by Israeli Occupation in 1967.

**Data excluded those parts of Jerusalem which were annexed by Israeli Occupation in 1967.
