core inflation
Definition
Persistent and underlying inflation. There is no standard definition or measure of core inflation. While most economists and policy makers measure it by consumer price index (CPI) excluding food and energy prices, others include increases in the price of basic food items (fish, meat, fruit and vegetables) and/or wage rates in its computation.
