About the indicator

The annual growth rate of the consumer price index — the cost of a fixed or periodically updated basket of goods and services for households. Negative values mean deflation. The composition of the basket and its weights are set by national statistical offices, so the figures are comparable in order of magnitude but not identical in method.

Important: In countries with hyperinflation the indicator can run into hundreds and thousands of percent, which is worth keeping in mind when reading charts.
