#WriteToEarnUpgrade #CPIWatch *CPI Watch* is a shorthand term for the ongoing monitoring of the *Consumer Price Index (CPI)* – the headline measure of inflation that tracks how prices of a basket of everyday goods and services change over time. In Pakistan, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics releases the CPI each month, and analysts, investors, and policymakers keep a close eye on it to gauge inflation trends, forecast future price movements, and inform monetary‑policy decisions. For example, the latest CPI reading for October 2025 was 280.66 points, translating to a year‑on‑year inflation rate of 6.2 %.

- *What it tracks:* changes in the cost of food, housing, transport, clothing, and other consumer items.

- *Why it matters:* a rising CPI signals higher inflation, which can affect interest rates, purchasing power, and economic policy; a falling CPI suggests easing price pressures.

- *Who uses it:* central banks (like the State Bank of Pakistan), financial markets, businesses, and households that want to anticipate price changes.$XRP $SOL $BTC
