About this indicator
- What it measures
- The change in the all-groups CPI from the same month a year earlier, Australia (weighted average of the eight capital cities).
- How it is calculated
- Published by the ABS as the percentage change from the corresponding month of the previous year (original series).
- How to read it
- Gives a reading on inflation each month rather than each quarter.
- Caveats
- The complete monthly CPI only goes back to April 2024, so year-ended rates start in April 2025. It replaced the earlier monthly CPI indicator, which priced a smaller share of the basket each month.
- Frequency
- Monthly
- Typical release
- Monthly, about four weeks after the end of the reference month.
