Methodology note:
The consumer price index (CPI) and the harmonized consumer price index (HICP) differ in scope and methodology. In contrast to the HICP, the CPI also includes household spending on owner-occupied housing, games of chance, and broadcasting costs. In addition, the weight of HICP products is updated annually. Because housing weighs much less in the HICP basket, price increases in other product groups have a greater impact on HICP than on CPI.
