How to read this series
National inflation. The twelve-month change in consumer prices nationally, with the food, housing and transport components that most often drive it. A lower rate means prices are rising more slowly, not falling; only a negative rate means prices are lower than a year before.
- Changes in a rate or ratio are given in percentage points, the plain difference between two readings.
- Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.
