Flash estimate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and
of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP)
January 2015
The annual change of the flash estimate of the CPI stands at –1.4%
in January, four tenths lower than that registered in December
The annual change of the HICP flash estimate is –1.5%
According to the flash estimate published by the INE, the annual inflation of the CPI in
January 2015 was –1.4%.
This indicator provides a preview of the CPI that, if confirmed, would imply a decrease of four
tenths in its annual rate, given that in December this change was –1.0%.
This decrease was mainly explained by the decrease in the prices of fuels (gas and diesel
oil).
