Abstract
 | The series comprises data from the two main consumer price indices in the United Kingdom: the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) and the Retail Prices Index (RPI); and historic RPI data 1947-2004. Consumer Price indices are important indicators of how the UK economy is performing. The indices are used by the government, business and society in general. The indices can affect interest rates, tax allowances, wages, state benefits, pensions, maintenance, contracts and many other payments. The CPI and the RPI are the two main measures of inflation. The indices represent the average change in prices across a wide range of consumer purchases. |
