2. ICP 2011 -- Core List • The ICP 2011 Round will broaden its scope by improving the methodologies that link data between regions. • New approach: the core list items, has been developed by the Global Office (GO) to cover more relevant goods and services. • The core list is an extraction of selected items from the source list that reproduces the same PPPs as the 2005 Round. • This core list should be part of each regional list and will be priced by all countries in all regions and subregions.
