Percentage points
The CPI rose by 0.1 per cent between May and June this year compared with a rise of 0.3 per cent a
year ago. These 1-month changes are both within the normal range for a May to June period; since
1996, the monthly movement between these two months have varied between a fall of 0.2 per cent
and an increase of 0.7 per cent.
The most significant upward contributions to the 1-month change in the CPI between May and June
2010 came from:
• recreation and culture: the largest upward effect came from games, toys and hobbies, mainly
due to price rises in computer games and consoles
• transport: this was mainly due to air transport where fares rose sharply on European and long
haul routes
• miscellaneous goods and services: the largest upward effect came from insurance, particularly
transport insurance where average premiums rose by 5.7 per cent, a record for a May to June
period
The most significant downward contribution to the 1-month change in the CPI between May and June
2010 came from:
• clothing and footwear: prices, overall, fell by 2.1 per cent, a record for a May to June period.
The largest downward effect came from women’s outerwear

Percentage points
The change in the CPI 12-month rate is calculated by comparing the price changes between the latest
two months and the same two months a year ago. This year the CPI increased by 0.1 per cent
between May and June compared with an increase of 0.3 per cent between the same two months a
year ago. The 1-month movement was therefore 0.2 per cent weaker this year and this led to a
decrease of 0.2 per cent in the CPI 12-month rate from 3.4 per cent in May to 3.2 per cent in June.
The most significant downward contributions to the change in the CPI 12-month rate between May
and June 2010 came from:
• transport: by far the largest downward effect came from fuel and lubricants where, reflecting
changes in the price of oil, petrol and diesel prices fell this year between May and June but
rose sharply a year ago. The next largest downward effect came from the purchase of second
hand cars where prices rose this year but by less than a year ago. The price increase of 1.8
per cent last year was a record for a May to June period (it was widely reported that a shortage
of stock led to higher prices for second hand cars during 2009). Within transport, partially
offsetting these downward effects, was a large upward effect from air transport where fares
rose by more than a year ago, particularly on European and long haul routes
• clothing and footwear: prices, overall, fell by 2.1 per cent this year between May and June
compared with a fall of 1.5 per cent between the same two months a year ago. The fall this
year is a record for a May to June period; reports suggest sales were more widespread in June
2010 compared to 2009, particularly for women’s outerwear

7. The only large upward contribution to the change in the CPI 12-month rate between May and
June 2010 came from:
• miscellaneous goods and services: the largest upward effects here came from house
contents and car insurance where average premiums rose between May and June this
year but fell a year ago

CPI All Items 3.2
The most significant upward contributions to the CPI 12-month rate to June 2010 came from:
• transport which contributed 1.4 percentage points. The most significant effect here came
from fuels and lubricants where, overall, prices rose by 15.9 per cent over the 12 months to
June. There were also large upward effects from air transport where fares rose, over the 12
months to June, by 17.5 per cent, and the purchase of second-hand cars, where prices rose
by 10.0 per cent over the same period
• restaurants and hotels which contributed 0.4 percentage points. Here, restaurant and cafe
prices, overall, rose by 3.0 per cent over the year
• miscellaneous goods and services which contributed 0.3 percentage points with the largest
effect coming from transport insurance. Here, average premiums rose by 35.9 per cent over
the 12 months to June, a record 12-month rate for this component
• recreation and culture which also contributed 0.3 percentage points, with the largest effects
coming from package holidays, recreational and cultural services and books, newspapers
and stationery

Consumer Prices Index excluding indirect taxes (CPIY)
The CPIY is the same as the all items CPI except that it excludes price changes which are
directly due to changes in indirect taxation.
In the year to June, the CPIY rose by 1.6 per cent, down from 1.7 per cent in May. A fall in the
CPIY annual rate of a 0.1 percentage point between May and June compares with a decrease
in the CPI annual rate of 0.2 percentage points during the same period. There are similar
changes to the CPIY and CPI 12-month rates as there are no changes to indirect taxation this
month that impact on the CPI. The most significant reason for the small difference between the
change in the CPIY and CPI 12-month rates is that car and house contents insurance have
higher weights in the CPIY compared to the CPI. The upward effects from these components
therefore had a larger impact on the CPIY.
Consumer Prices Index at constant tax rates (CPI-CT)
The CPI-CT is the same as the CPI except that tax rates are kept constant at the rates they
were in the base period (currently January 2010).
In the year to June, CPI-CT rose by 1.5 per cent, down from 1.6 per cent in May. A fall in the
CPI-CT annual rate of a 0.1 percentage point between May and June compares with a decrease
in the CPI annual rate of 0.2 percentage points during the same period. The similar changes
(the actual difference is due to rounding) to the CPI-CT and CPI 12-month rates is because
there were no changes to taxes in June 2010 or June 2009.

All-items Retail Prices Index (RPI)
In the year to June, the all items RPI rose by 5.0 per cent, down from 5.1 per cent in May. The
RPI 12-month rate between May and June has therefore decreased by a 0.1 percentage point
compared to a fall in the CPI 12-month rate of 0.2 percentage points.
The slightly smaller decrease in the RPI 12-month rate is mainly due to insurance. Insurance
has a far higher weight in the RPI than the CPI so the upward effect from this component had a
much larger impact on the RPI. House depreciation was also a factor in the smaller decrease in
the RPI 12-month rate; this component had an upward effect on the RPI but is excluded from
the CPI.
Partially offsetting these larger upward effects to the RPI compared to the CPI are air transport
and petrol and oil. Air transport has a lower weight in the RPI compared with the CPI so the
upward effect from this component had less of an impact on the RPI. Finally petrol and oil has a
higher weight in the RPI so the downward effect from this component had a larger impact on the
RPI compared to the CPI.

All items Retail Prices Index excluding mortgage interest payments (RPIX)
The RPIX is the same as the all items RPI except for mortgage interest payments, which is
excluded from RPIX.
In the year to June, the RPIX rose by 5.0 per cent, down from 5.1 per cent in May. There is a
0.1 percentage point fall in both the RPIX and RPI 12-month rates as mortgage interest
payments had little effect on the change in the RPI 12-month rate between May and June.
All items Retail Prices Index excluding mortgage interest payments and indirect taxes
(RPIY)
The RPIY is the same as the all items RPI except that it excludes price changes which are
directly due to changes in indirect taxation (such as VAT) and interest rates.
In the year to June, the RPIY rose by 3.8 per cent unchanged from May. An unchanged RPIY
12-month rate between May and June compares with a fall in the RPI annual rate of a 0.1
percentage point during the same period.
There are similar changes to the RPIY and RPI 12-month rates as there are no changes to
indirect taxation this month that impact on the RPI and mortgage interest payments also had
little impact on the change in the RPI 12-month rate between May and June. The most
significant reason for the small difference between the change in the RPIY and RPI 12-month
rates is that car and house contents insurance have higher weights in the RPIY compared to the
RPI. The upward effects from these components therefore had a larger impact on the RPIY.
