WHAT IS THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)?
The CPIs are based on the prices of food, clothing, housing, and fuels; transportation fees; service fees (e.g., water and sewage); and sales taxes.
HOW DOES CPI DATA HELP US?
The CPI can be used to recognize periods of inflation and deflation.
Significant increases in the CPI over a short period of time could indicate a period of inflation, and significant decreases in the CPI over a short period of time could indicate a period of deflation. However, since the CPI includes volatile food and oil prices, it may not be a reliable measure of inflationary and deflationary periods.
