Government changes inflation calculation

The way the government calculates inflation is to change, according to the government.

Currently, there are three different measures - two Retail Price Indices and the Consumer Price Index.

However, from April 2018 the government will only use RPI calculated unde the Jevons formula and the CPI.

Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says he's hoping to publish inflation rates for different economic sectors in the near future.
