The month-over-month change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures how much the prices of goods and services purchased by Swiss consumers have increased or decreased compared to the previous month. This data is published monthly by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO) and is crucial for assessing short-term inflation trends.
Month-over-month data helps in understanding how inflation is changing over a short period. If the CPI is increasing, it indicates rising inflationary pressures, which can lead to a decrease in consumer purchasing power. Conversely, if the CPI is decreasing, it suggests deflationary risks, potentially leading to an increase in consumer purchasing power.
This data is essential for policymakers to evaluate inflation trends and formulate appropriate monetary policies. For example, if the CPI shows high growth, the central bank may consider raising interest rates to control inflation. Conversely, if the CPI is decreasing, it might be necessary to strengthen economic stimulus measures. Additionally, this indicator is vital for businesses and investors as it helps in understanding inflation trends and forecasting the economic outlook.
