How to read it

Perception rather than measurement: people weight frequent purchases more heavily than the statistical basket does, so observed inflation sits almost always above CPI. Useful as an early sign that expectations are shifting.

How it is measured

The same inFOM survey, asking about observed rather than expected inflation.
