Investopedia Commentary
MUICP is calculated by taking the weighted average of HICPs from each country within the Euro-zone (this includes Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg and Portugual). The weightings of each country are updated every year for the calculation of the MUICP, and they reflect expenditure on final private domestic consumption in Euros.
