The CPI, Consumer Price Index, measures the evolution of the set of prices of goods and services consumed by the inhabitants of a country or region.
The CPI is constructed from the prices of a sample of representative items, the prices of which are collected periodically.
The CPI is a percentage that, when it is positive, indicates the percentage that prices have risen, inflation; if it is a negative figure, it indicates the percentage decrease in prices, deflation.
