Headline consumer price inflation — the twelve-month change in the vísitala neysluverðs (consumer price index) published by Hagstofa Íslands (Statistics Iceland), the official statistics producer. The CPI is compiled from prices collected in the first half of each month and released near the END of that same month, so Iceland publishes its inflation number faster than most of Europe. The index base is May 1988 = 100. The Central Bank's inflation target is 2.5% measured on this index.
