The Daily CPI to be supplied daily on the internet by (in descending order of preference)
1. Central Bank
2. National Institute of Statistics
3. National Institute of Chartered Accountants
4. Chamber of Commerce and Industry

(ii) When the government stops supplying CPI data when the daily USD parallel rate is the only reliable indicator of the general price level.
