Retail Price Index m/m shows the change in the price of goods and services to reflect household spending in the given month compared to the previous month.

In contrast to CPI, which only includes housing rent cost, the Retail Price Index includes the following housing costs: taxes, house deprecation, building insurance and other house purchase costs. Mortgage interest payments are included in the index calculation.
