The Year-over-Year Consumer Price Index measures the price change of goods and services by comparing the current quarter to the same quarter a year ago. It provides a broader view of inflationary trends over a longer period, filtering out seasonal quarterly fluctuations. This is the primary gauge used by the Reserve Bank of Australia for its inflation targeting framework.
The YoY figure is derived by taking the percentage change in the CPI index value from the corresponding quarter of the previous year. It reflects the cumulative inflation over a 12-month period.
