Frequently asked questions
Where does the inflation rate data come from?
It's typically based on published consumer price index data, though exact figures can vary slightly by source and country.
Can this predict future inflation?
Projections into the future rely on an assumed average rate and are estimates only, since actual future inflation cannot be known in advance.
