National statistical agencies calculate CPI by tracking prices of a representative basket of consumer goods and services (food, housing, transportation, healthcare, etc.). The basket is weighted by typical household expenditure patterns. The IMF aggregates national CPI data and produces harmonized inflation estimates.
