What is the Hungarian inflation based on CPI?
When we talk about the rate of inflation in Hungary, this often refers to the rate of inflation based on the consumer price index, or CPI for short. The Hungarian CPI shows the change in prices of a standard package of goods and services which Hungarian households purchase for consumption.
In order to measure Hungarian inflation, an assessment is made of how much the Hungarian CPI has risen in percentage terms over a give period compared to the CPI in Hungary in a preceding period. If prices have fallen this is called deflation (negative inflation).
