Consumer Price Index – Inflation
According to the definition of the National Bureau of Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change over time in prices of goods and services consumed by people for the day-to-day living.
CPI of the same month in the current year is known as Inflation Rate. Inflation is thus the rise in prices of goods and services over a period of time.
