2026 Consumer Price Index (CPI) Survey of Housing Rentals Starts Tuesday, 24 February 2026

The 2026 Consumer Price Index (CPI) Survey of Housing Rentals conducted by the Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) will begin on Tuesday, 24th February 2026.

The survey aims to collect data from residents of the Cayman Islands who live in rental properties. We invite participation in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) housing rental survey, which the ESO will conduct in February, May, August, and November each year. The CPI survey is used to determine the inflation rate, or the change in the cost of living, in the Cayman Islands.

ESO staff with ESO ID cards will administer the survey. The ESO thanks the households that have already participated in previous surveys and is seeking support for the upcoming survey.

The data collected is kept in the strictest confidence as mandated by the Statistics Act (2016 Revision). Individual data will not be published or used outside the ESO and is exempt from the Freedom of Information requests.

For further information on any aspect of the survey or results of previous surveys, contact the Economics & Statistics Office at 516-3329, 949-0940, or visit www.eso.ky.
