CPI vs WPI: Which Reflects Nepal’s Inflation Better?
In Nepal, CPI better reflects inflation for households, as it captures living costs like food, housing, and transport, while WPI serves as an early indicator of future price pressures at the production level. With CPI at 1.68% and WPI at 2.37% in mid-August 2082/83, both suggest price stability, but CPI is more relevant to consumers, while WPI guides long-term policy and investment signals.
