Inflation in June 2021 expected at 2.7% according to flash estimate
Vienna, 2021
"The continued high level of inflation in June 2021 can mainly be attributed to the very low fuel and energy prices a year ago, which have since recovered. In the coming months, this price-driving effect will be less pronounced, says Statistics Austria Director General Tobias Thomas.
The index level of the consumer price index and further results for June 2021 will be announced on 16 July 2021.
Consumer Price Index (CPI), June 2021
+2.7% yearly rate of change (estimate)+0.4% monthly rate of change (estimate)
Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), June 2021
+2.8% yearly rate of change (estimate)+0.2% monthly rate of change (estimate)

Information
on methods, definitions: The flash estimates are based on the
price data stock existing at the time of publication for the compilation
of the consumer price index at the end of a respective reference month.
Usually about 80% to 90% of the prices collected for the CPI can be
used for the flash estimate, but without having gone through the full
price statistical validation checks. Price reports received later or
delayed for the reference month, as well as the corrections made in
the course of the usual data compilation process, mean that the CPI
flash estimates may differ from the annual and monthly rates of change
of the consumer price index published in the middle of the following
month (see CPI publication dates). It is not permissible to use the
CPI flash estimate for contractual value adjustments or to equate it
with the results of the consumer price index or the harmonised consumer
price index.
Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP):
Differences between the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the EU-wide comparable
Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) are primarily based on weighting
differences. While the CPI only takes into account households living
in Austria, the HICP also covers expenditure by foreign tourists.
