Webinar | Consumer prices and inflation 📈
Episode details
Episode description
Consumer price indices measure changes over time in the prices of goods and services that households buy for consumption. These indices are used for various purposes, for example for conducting monetary policy, indexing commercial contracts, wages, social protection benefits and financial instruments. In the EU, the HICP provides a comparable measure of consumer price inflation. This webinar will give you general insights into the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP), inform you on recent developments, and the work carried out at Eurostat. Our experts will show you how to find relevant data and information and guide you through Eurostat’s food price monitoring tool.
