Why this matters

CPI inflation is the single number that says how much faster this month's shopping costs than last year's.

Economy: Sustained high inflation pushes the State Bank towards higher interest rates, which raises borrowing costs for businesses and government alike.

For you: It is the gap between your salary and your grocery bill. When inflation outruns pay rises, the same income buys less every month.
