Retail Price Index A measure of inflation that considers what people spend on staple goods and services. It is calculated by taking the average of changes in price to a basket of goods and services compiled by the appropriate government agency. The goods and services in the basket are weighted according to their perceived importance. The RPI was considered a primary tool in determining how people are experiencing inflation, but it has largely been superseded by the Consumer Price Index. It is primarily used today in the British news media. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

July's RPI is also expected to herald lower rail fares for passengers from next January. At the beginning of this year, prices went up by 6% according to the formula - based on last July's 5% RPI reading - but are likely to fall next January with the measure mired deep in negative territory. |
