It is most widely used in the calculation of the inflation rate and purchasing power of the peso. Furthermore, Inflation Rate (IR) is the annual rate of change in the CPI. The CPI and IR series, among others, is being used for economic analysis, collective bargaining agreements, wage adjustments, and monitoring the effects of government economic policy.
