The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) measures the month-over-month change in the prices of consumer goods and services acquired by households. It is developed using a standardized methodology across European Union member states to ensure comparability for monetary policy purposes. This indicator is a key metric for the European Central Bank to assess price stability and guide interest rate decisions within the Eurozone.
The index is calculated as a weighted average of price changes for a representative basket of goods and services, with weights reflecting each country's share in total household final consumption expenditure.
