Dutch term
"afgeleide" (in this context)
Dutch to English
Bus/Financial
Insurance
Employee benefits
The sentence below is part of a (very lengthy) set of pension plan rules.
"Onder algemene prijsindex wordt in dit reglement verstaan de afgeleide consumentenprijsindex werknemersgezinnen met laag inkomen, zoals berekend door het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek."
I am hoping that someone can come up with the whole phrase: "de afgeleide consumentenprijsindex werknemersgezinnen met laag inkomen". Quite a mouthful. My main stumbling block, however, is the word "afgeleide" here.

Dutch term (edited):
afgeleide CPI
Selected
subsidiary CPI
Simply a suggestion, based on the ILO CPI manual (which tells you more that you are likely to ever want to know about CPIs), and in particular Chapter 3 of the manual, with the following quotes:
3.95 In addition to a single wide-ranging official (headline) CPI relevant to the country as a whole, many countries publish a range of subsidiary indices relating to sub-sectors of the population. For example,the Czech Republic compiles separate indices for:
– all households;
– all employees;
– employees with children;
– low-income employees;
– employees,incomplete families;
– pensioners;
– low-income pensioners;
– households in Prague;
3.104 In effect, many statistical offices are moving towards a situation in which a database of prices and weights is maintained from which a variety of subsidiary indices is derived.

That should be \'... more than you are likely to ever want to know...\'

Just a "shot", Jarry - I have come across "secondary" in combination with index.
Good luck!

Discussion
(US English at its very best!)
Many countries compile a special consumer price index designed to capture price levels affecting the welfare and basic needs of low-income wage-earning households which may be more useful than a more general consumer price index in adjusting minimum wages levels
According to A.J. de Keizer's Financieel Economisch Lexicon, "Afgeleide inflatie" is 'inflation excluding indirect taxes' in English. Would not "afgeleide" in the context under review have a more technical meaning than just 'derived'?
