About this indicator
Inflation, measured by the growth of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), captures changes over time in the prices of goods and services consumed by households. It reflects how the cost of living evolves and directly affects the real purchasing power of households’ incomes and their welfare.
Annual growth of the CPI indicates the rate at which consumer prices change compared to the previous year. The CPI series used here are based on annual price averages.
