The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure of the evolution of the prices of goods and services consumed by the population that reside in family dwellings in Spain.

The combination of goods and services that conform the shopping basket is basically obtained from the consumption of families, and the importance of each one of these within the calculation of the CPI is determined by said consumption.

As of January 2002 the CPI methodology was completely renewed.
