Price quote data (for locally collected data only) and consumption segment indices that underpin consumer price inflation statistics, giving users access to the detailed data that are used in the construction of the UK’s inflation figures. The data are being made available for research purposes only and are not an accredited official statistic. From October 2024, private school fees and part-time education classes have been included in the consumption segment indices file. For more information on the introduction of consumption segments, please see the Consumer Prices Indices Technical Manual, 2019. Note that this dataset was previously called the consumer price inflation item indices and price quotes dataset.

This Economic Commentary provides an overview of several frictions and the channels through which they affect economic welfare under elevated trend inflation above 2 percent. These frictions, associated with financial transactions, price and wage stickiness, and cognitive limitations, suggest that inflation imposes significant costs on society. Higher inflation may lead to a steeper Phillips curve, a situation which increases the volatility of inflation and interest rates.

This article describes the new RPIJ measure of Consumer Price Inflation. RPIJ is a Retail Prices Index (RPI) based measure that will use a geometric (Jevons) formula in place of one type of arithmetic formula (Carli). It is being launched in response to the National Statistician's conclusion that the RPI does not meet international standards due to the use of the Carli formula in its calculation. The accompanying Excel file includes a back series for RPIJ from 1997 to 2012.

Inflation and its perception by the public are often very different. 🏷 While the Central Bank tracks inflation across a wide range of goods, people typically don't buy all of them every day. 💡 This creates a disconnect between the official inflation data and public perception. But is there a correlation between the two? 🤔

This dataset explores the relationship between inflation as reported by the Central Bank of Russia and inflation expectations as captured in surveys conducted by ВЦИОМ (All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center). 📈 By analyzing both sources of data, we can understand how Russians feel about inflation and how their perception compares with the official statistics.

🗓 Dataset Overview:

• Survey Data: 💬 Data collected from surveys asking Russian citizens about their perception of inflation. The survey categorizes inflation into three levels: "Very High," "Moderate," and "Low."

• Central Bank Data: 🏦 Official data published by the Central Bank of Russia, including year-on-year inflation rates and key interest rates.

Inflation Perception Index: 🔢 The perception index is calculated using a weighted average of survey responses:

Index = ( Very High Inflation × 0.9 + Moderate Inflation × 0.5 + Low Inflation × 0.1) / Count without "I don’t know"

📅 Data Collection:

• Survey Data Source: 📊 ВЦИОМ (All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center) conducts regular surveys on inflation perceptions among Russian citizens. The survey data captures public sentiment on inflation in the last month or two.

• Inflation Data Source: 🏛 Central Bank of Russia provides official inflation statistics (year-on-year) and the key interest rate, which are critical for evaluating economic stability. The inflation target is also included in the dataset.

🧮 Key Columns:

• Date 📅: The date corresponding to each data entry.

• Key Rate, % per year 💰: The official interest rate set by the Central Bank of Russia.

• Inflation, % year-on-year 📉: The year-on-year inflation rate reported by the Central Bank.

• Inflation Target 🎯: The official target for inflation set by the Central Bank.

• Survey Responses 🗣: Data from survey questions about inflation perceptions:

  • Very High Inflation (Survey) 🚨

  • Moderate Inflation (Survey) 📊

  • Low Inflation (Survey) 🌱

  • I do not know (Survey) 🤷‍♂️

• Perception Index 🔢: The calculated index reflecting the general perception of inflation among Russians.

📈 Potential Use Cases:

• Economic Research 📚: Analyze the correlation between official inflation rates and public sentiment regarding inflation.

• Policy Evaluation 📊: Assess the effectiveness of the Central Bank's monetary policies in influencing public perceptions of inflation.

• Forecasting 🔮: Build predictive models for inflation expectations based on public sentiment and official statistics.

• Public Sentiment Analysis 💬: Explore how perceptions of inflation impact consumer behavior and business strategies.

The statistic shows the inflation rate in Russia from 1997 to 2024, with projections until 2030. The inflation rate is calculated using the price increase in a defined product basket. This product basket contains products and services, on which the average consumer spends money throughout the year. They include expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities and raw materials (e.g., gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. In 2022, the average inflation rate in Russia was at about 13.75 percent compared to the previous year. Russia's economic uplift Based on economic power and economic standards, Russia is recognized as one of the biggest economic powers in the world. With a population of around 143 million people and a re-awakened population growth since 2010, Russia has tried to establish itself as one of the world’s largest economies and wealthiest nations and succeeded, being the sixth-largest economy in the world today. The gross domestic product (GDP) increase in Russia from 2009 to 2014 is also a good indicator of Russia’s economic growth and strength. After the 1998 Russian financial crisis, several reforms were introduced to the Russian economy which allowed it to recover. Not only did the Russian economy experience a great boost, but the quality of life in Russia as well as the people’s satisfaction with the direction of the country has also improved. In comparison to the previous year - with the exception of 2009 -, the Russian real gross domestic product growth rate has increased over the past decade. The trade balance of goods has been experiencing a rapid increase since the beginning of the millennium, with the exceptions of 2007 and 2009 due to the global economic crisis. This allowed Russia to export more goods than it imported. This high trade balance of goods resulted in a low inflation rate in 2012, the lowest recorded inflation rate since 2004.

Expressed in end of the period, not annual average data. A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the prices of goods and services that households consume. Such changes affect the real purchasing power of consumers' incomes and their welfare. As the prices of different goods and services do not all change at the same rate, a price index can only reflect their average movement. A price index is typically assigned a value of unity, or 100, in some reference period and the values of the index for other periods of time are intended to indicate the average proportionate, or percentage, change in prices from this price reference period. Price indices can also be used to measure differences in price levels between different cities, regions or countries at the same point in time. [CPI Manual 2004, Introduction] For euro countries, consumer prices are calculated based on harmonized prices.
