Footnotes

3 Consumer Prices Index is a measure of Consumer price inflation and is the speed at which the prices of the goods and services bought by households rise or fall. Consumer price inflation is estimated by using price indices. One way to understand a prices index is to think of a very large shopping basket containing all the goods and services bought by households. The prices index estimates changes to the total cost of this basket.
