How to read this series

National consumer price index. The index itself and its thirteen spending divisions. The level has no meaning on its own (it is set to 100 in a base period); what matters is how fast it changes. Divisions carry different weights, so a large move in a small division barely shifts the total.

  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
