Statistics Canada tracks just about anything that can be counted so I shouldn't be surprised to learn this morning that it maintains the Computer and Peripherals Price Index or CPPI in Statscan-speak.
The federal agency just released the latest index for June and, it turns out, computers continue to get cheaper in Canada, particularly in the consumer market.
“[Prices of] Consumer computers, representing computer brands and models normally purchased by consumers and small businesses, were down 5.3%. Desktops fell by 6.1% and portables by 4.6%,” Statscan said.
Prices for monitors and printers remained largely unchanged from May, Statscan said.
