Description

The index monitors retail price changes for goods and services included into the consumer goods basket. The index calculation includes food and clothing prices, education expenditures, as well as prices for public health services, transportation, utility payments and leisure. The index is a quarterly calculated value and is the basic indicator of the inflation rate in any country including the Australia. It is considered to be the most important inflationary indicator. The high rate of inflation raises the chances of the bank’s rate increase by the national Central Bank. Low inflation rate allows for more active economic stimulation by the Central Bank, and decreases the bank rate or applies quantitative easing in particular (when it is necessary).

Effect of market

The index growth or the exceeding of the forecast value by the actual value is a positive sign for the Australian dollar. It can exert a strong influence on the dynamics of the Australian currency.
