Overview

The purpose of this dashboard is to keep track of the inflation in Australia and the underlying effects on the economy. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the cost of everyday items and services such as food, rent and utilities.
We track the historic trend of the Consumer Price Index, the inflation rate in every state in Australia and the current CPI.
We also track the effects of the inflation on the economy by looking at the historic trend in GDP, change in inflation in various sectors, effect of inflation on supply and demand.
