Notes
The basket changed method: from 1995 to 2017 the INE published the CBA and the vital basic basket; from 2017, the new CBA and the expanded basket, revised in 2020. The series of each method are not comparable with each other. For some figures the file does not say whether they are per person or per household. Average prices for 2017 to 2023 were not included because they print no unit.
