CPI Common YoY

2.6%

The CPI Common is a measure of core inflation in Canada, along with the CPI Median and the CPI Trimmed-Mean, that aims to gauge underlying inflation in the Canadian economy. The index tracks common changes across categories in the CPI basket. It uses a factor model to detect common variations, which helps filter out price movements that might be caused by factors specific to certain components.

CPI Median YoY

1.9%

CPI median is a measure of core inflation corresponding to the price change located at the 50th percentile (in terms of the CPI basket weights) of the distribution of price changes in a given month. This measure helps filter out extreme price movements specific to certain components. This approach is similar to CPI-trim as it eliminates all the weighted monthly price variations at both the bottom and top of the distribution of price changes in any given month, except the price change for the component that is the midpoint of that distribution.

CPI Trimmed-Mean YoY

1.9%

CPI Trimmed is a measure of core inflation that excludes CPI components whose rates of change in a given month are located in the tails of the distribution of price changes. This measure helps filter out extreme price movements that might be caused by factors specific to certain components. In particular, CPI-trim excludes 20 percent of the weighted monthly price variations at both the bottom and top of the distribution of price changes, and thus it always removes 40 percent of the total CPI basket.
