Anyone watching the news has come across articles and stories about inflation and prices going up and down. Eurostat news often cover price variations of many household staples in the EU, such as olive oil, pasta, meat, coffee and other breakfast foods. We also did a deep dive into inflation and how it is calculated in one of our Stats in a Wrap podcast episodes in 2022. Because these themes affect our daily lives, we will hold a webinar focused on consumer prices and inflation on 27 November, from 10.00 to 11.00 CET.
The webinar will provide general insights into the harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP), recent developments, and the work carried out at Eurostat. We will also show where you can find relevant data and information and present our food price monitoring tool.
Consumer price indices measure changes over time in the prices of goods and services that households purchase. They are used for various purposes, such as conducting monetary policy, indexing commercial contracts, setting wages, social protection benefits and financial instruments.
The online webinar will be streamed on Eurostat’s website, Facebook account and LinkedIn account. It is open to anyone interested, and there is no need to register. There will be an opportunity to ask questions via Slido. The webinar will also be recorded and can be viewed later as well.
