Why are we not showing more recent cost?

Why are we not showing more recent cost?

The Cost Index is linked to our Cost Benchmarking, which is updated on a quarterly basis. There is always a lag for the latest quarter data because of the comprehensiveness and breadth of data points involved and is usually final two full months after the end of a quarter. We do show preliminary data as soon as possible, though, which is mostly based on the cost data of the previous quarter, except for fiber.
