What is CPIA financial sector rating (1=low to 6=high)?

CPIA financial sector rating (1=low to 6=high) tracks changes in the price level of goods and services in Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan & Pakistan (excluding high income). It serves as a primary gauge of purchasing power and cost of living, directly affecting consumer budgets, wage negotiations, and central bank interest rate decisions. Economists distinguish between "headline" inflation (all items) and "core" inflation (excluding volatile food and energy prices) to better understand underlying price trends. In Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan & Pakistan (excluding high income), this metric is calculated by statistical agencies through regular surveys of thousands of retail prices across urban and rural areas. The resulting index allows comparisons over time: a value of 120 compared to a base of 100 means prices have risen 20% since the base period. Policymakers typically target a modest positive inflation rate (often around 2%) rather than zero, believing this encourages spending and investment while providing a buffer against deflation.
