Inflation & Prices

CPI national, urban and rural, every COICOP group, core, WPI and the weekly SPI

Monthly · 2015-16 → · 3,910 series

The inflation module is how prices move in Pakistan, at every level of detail. It carries headline CPI for the nation, for urban and rural areas, and split across every COICOP group — food, housing, transport, health and the rest — alongside core (non-food non-energy) measures, the Wholesale Price Index, and the weekly Sensitive Price Indicator that tracks essentials in near-real time.

Together these let you go from the single headline number to the specific basket driving it. Rescale historical amounts into today's rupees, separate a food shock from a fuel shock, compare urban and rural inflation, follow essential-goods prices in one city against another, or feed a clean monthly series straight into a model. Every series shares one shape, as JSON or CSV.
