 Highlights :
    - MULTIPRIL is a global database on Multilateral Price Levels (MPL)
- MULTIPRIL includes (i) relative price level series computed vis-à-vis two sets of trading partners according to three different trade-weighting schemes, and (ii) MPL-based currency misalignments series
- MULTIPRIL covers a wide sample of 178 countries over the 1990-2018 period
 Abstract :
 Abstract :This paper describes the new CEPII-MULTIPRIL database on Multilateral Price Levels (MPL) introduced in 2020. The MULTIPRIL database covers a wide sample of 178 countries over the 1990-2018 period, and includes relative price level series computed vis-à-vis two sets of trading partners (177 and the top 30) according to three different trade-weighting schemes. It also contains MPL-based currency misalignments series for 156 countries over the 1991-2018 period. MULTIPRIL offers the potential to improve the coverage and quality of worldwide pricecompetitiveness comparisons. By focusing on price level data, it usefully complements the EQCHANGE database on equilibrium exchange rates and currency misalignments derived from series in indices. Its multilateral setting provides a more comprehensive picture of relative price levels and currency misalignments compared to existing bilateral measures
