The month-on-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) in South Africa measures the percentage change in prices of goods and services purchased by consumers for a specific month compared to the previous month. This data, released monthly by Statistics South Africa, is crucial for evaluating inflation trends.
Month-on-month CPI data helps understand short-term fluctuations in consumer prices. An increase in CPI indicates rising inflationary pressures, potentially reducing consumer purchasing power. Conversely, a decrease in CPI suggests deflationary risks, potentially improving consumer purchasing power.
This data serves as important reference material for policymakers to evaluate inflation trends and formulate appropriate monetary policies. It is also a vital source of information for businesses and investors to forecast price trends and economic outlook.
