Reading this correctly. Annual percentage change in the cost to the average consumer of acquiring a basket of goods and services. A negative value means deflation. Figures are in annual %. Comparing this series with a different measure of the same concept (for example a nominal figure against a purchasing-power-parity figure) will give misleading results.
