The monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) indicator rose 7.4 per cent in the year to January 2023, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Michelle Marquardt, ABS Head of Prices Statistics, said "This month's annual increase of 7.4 per cent is lower than the 8.4 per cent rise for the year to December 2022.
