Table explanation


This table contains figures on the Netherlands’ consumer price index (CPI). The CPI measures changes in the prices of goods and services purchased by households in the Netherlands for their own consumption. The table shows a continuous development starting from the year 1900.

This series is an estimation that has been constructed by linking different series together. The table contains index figures and annual rates of change. Due to rounding differences, the annual rate of change in this table may differ from the officially published annual rate of change of the CPI. The officially published annual rate of change of the CPI is known as the inflation rate.

Description topics

CPI
Consumer price index.
The Consumer price index (CPI) measures the average price changes of goods and services purchased by an average household.
This index has been constructed by linking several index series with different base years.
Annual rate of change
Annual rate of change is measured as the year-on-year change of the CPI, expressed as a percentage. The annual rate of change is an indication of the price increase or decrease of a basket of goods and services purchased by an average Dutch household in one year. The basket is based on the spending pattern of an average household.
The annual rate of change of this index may diverge from the official annual rate of change published since 1963 due to rounding differences.
