Consumer price inflation
Annual change in the consumer price index, representing changes in the cost of a basket of consumer goods and services.
How to read it
Check the reporting period and the composition of the index. Food, energy, housing and other categories can move differently, so a headline rate does not describe every household’s experience.
What it does not tell you
Lower inflation usually means prices rise more slowly, not that the price level has fallen. This annual series is not a substitute for a real-time monthly release calendar.
