The Consumer Price Index (CPI) – from which the inflation rate is calculated – is compiled on the 2001 base year at the ECCU level. The base year is set to 100 and it is used to compare values from other years.
End of Period is calculated as period over period. For example, monthly data is calculated as June of the current year over May of the current year; quarterly is calculated as June of the current year over March of the current year; and annual is calculated as December of the current year over December of the previous year.
