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