Export and Import Unit Value Indices: Sources and Methods report

Statistics South Africa has published the 2026 Export and Import Unit Value Indices: Sources and Methods. "The export and import unit value indices (XMUVI) form an essential component of the suite of price statistics compiled by Statistics South Africa. The XMUVI are derived from the official recording of goods entering and leaving South Africa. The XMUVI provide insight on inflationary dynamics in the economy and are used to deflate nominal estimates of exports and imports in the national accounts. This manual replaces the 2025 edition."
