Inflation data is one of the main factors influencing central bank monetary policy decisions. Elevated inflation typically prompts the People's Bank of China to adopt a more restrictive policy stance, which can negatively impact economic growth. As China is Australia's largest trading partner, an economic slowdown in China is unfavorable for Australian exports. Therefore, rising inflation in China tends to weigh on the Australian dollar.This data release is rated as high importance (level 3). The index is calculated based on changes in prices of goods and services purchased by consumers. Both monthly and yearly figures are published, with a release frequency of once per month. The next publication is scheduled for the following month.
