Inflation makes the wealthiest people richer and the masses poorer.

James Cook

What Is CPI

The Consumer Price Index CPI measures the average change over time in the prices of goods and services consumed by people for day-to-day living.  That is to say that CPI is interested in how much you bought a loaf of bread by this time last year and how much the same loaf is being sold at the time of the report. The construction of the CPI combines economic theory, sampling, and other statistical techniques using data from other surveys to produce a weighted measure of average price changes in the Nigerian economy. The weighting occurs to capture the importance of the selected commodities in the entire index. The production of the CPI requires the skills of economists, statisticians, computer scientists, and data collectors, among other professionals.

The CPI surveys all items in both the urban and rural sectors for each of the 36 states and the FCT and grouped into 12 Divisions to include:

  1. Food and non-alcoholic beverages
  2. Alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and kola
  3. Clothing and footwear
  4. Housing, water, electricity, and gas
  5. Furniture and household equipment
  6. Health
  7. Transport
  8. Communication
  9. Recreation and Culture
  10. Education
  11. Restaurants and hotels
  12. Miscellaneous goods and services

Inflation And Uncertainty Hits Harder As IMF Warns Of Global Economic Growth Contraction In 2023

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

Ernest Hemingway

As we bring this section to a close, I want you to take the advice of Ludwig von Mises seriously and be part of the decision in choosing who rules your country. do not lease that one important decision to the politician and card-carrying members of political parties because the inflation we are seeing today is the result of their policies.

The most important thing to remember is that inflation is not an act of God, that inflation is not a catastrophe of the elements or a disease that comes like the plague. Inflation is a policy.

Ludwig von Mises
