▪CPI measures changes in the price of a fixed basket of goods and services purchased by households
▪The assumption is that the basket is purchased each month, hence as price changes each month, the total price of the basket will also change
▪The rate of inflation is the relative change in CPI between periods
▪Inflation is reported year-on-year (annual inflation) and month-on-month (monthly inflation)
