最近可能大家經(jīng)常聽說一句話，就是我們現(xiàn)在的物價(jià)上漲是CPI的結(jié)構(gòu)性上漲，那么，什么是CPI呢？

In economics, a Consumer Price Index (CPI, also retail price index) is a statistical measure of a weighted average of prices of a specified set of goods and services purchased by wage earners in urban areas. It is a price index which tracks the prices of a specified set of consumer goods and services, providing a measure of inflation. The CPI is a fixed quantity price index and a sort of cost-of-living index.

The CPI can be used to track changes in prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by urban households. User fees (such as water and sewer service) and sales and excise taxes paid by the consumer are also included. Income taxes and investment items (like stocks, bonds, life insurance, and homes) are not included.

CPI就是消費(fèi)者物價(jià)指數(shù)，是反映與居民生活有關(guān)的產(chǎn)品及勞務(wù)價(jià)格統(tǒng)計(jì)出來的物價(jià)變動(dòng)指標(biāo)，通常作為 觀察通貨膨脹水平的重要指標(biāo)。如果消費(fèi)者物價(jià)指數(shù)升幅過大，表明通脹已經(jīng)成為經(jīng)濟(jì)不穩(wěn)定因素，央行會(huì)有緊縮貨幣政策和財(cái)政政策的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，從而造成經(jīng)濟(jì)前景不 明朗。因此，該指數(shù)過高的升幅往往不被市場(chǎng)歡迎。
