Ireland HICP (MoM)
Published:
Monthly change in Ireland's Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices, published by the CSO as a flash estimate and then a final figure.
Full explanation
Ireland HICP (MoM) is the percentage change in Ireland's Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices compared with the previous month, published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The HICP uses the common EU methodology used by Eurostat and the ECB, so it is the measure comparable across euro-area countries. It is not seasonally adjusted. It is a different index from Ireland's national CPI, which the CSO publishes in the same release and which, for example, includes mortgage interest. The CSO publishes a flash estimate at the start of the following month and the final figure in the mid-month CPI release; the calendar shows both under this name.
Why traders watch it
Ireland's HICP feeds into the euro-area inflation aggregate.
Stronger vs weaker outcomes
A higher-than-expected monthly change points to stronger near-term price pressure; a lower reading points the other way.
A higher reading means Irish harmonised consumer prices rose faster.
A lower reading means they rose more slowly.
Higher means faster Irish inflation; lower means slower.
