It was 2.7% higher than a year earlier and rose 0.6% from August on a seasonally adjusted basis. The all-items index excluding fresh food also reached 102.6, up 2.7% year over year.

It increased 3.0% from a year earlier and 0.7% from August after seasonal adjustment. This measure removes volatile fresh-food and energy items, so it is not a complete summary of every price paid by households. The differing coverage of the three indexes helps explain why headline and underlying inflation can move in the same direction but by different amounts.","The headline index’s annual increase accelerated from 1.9% in August to 2.7% in September. The Bureau said fresh food reduced the overall annual rate by 0.15 percentage point, yet the rate widened by 0.8 point compared with the previous month. The index excluding fresh food rose from 1.8% to 2.7% year over year.

Housing rents increased 2.0%, including a 2.2% rise in private-sector rents. These differences show how food subgroups and housing costs made different contributions to the overall index, but the release does not calculate the effect on each household’s personal spending basket.","The energy group fell 2.0% year over year. Electricity prices were down 2.4% and city gas 1.6%, while kerosene rose 11.6%. By contrast, water and sewerage charges increased 29.5%; a 65.6% rise in water charges contributed positively to the overall index. The Bureau’s table tracks components such as energy, electricity, city gas, kerosene and gasoline separately.

The headline index rose 0.6%, the index excluding fresh food rose 0.9%, and the index excluding fresh food and energy rose 0.7%. Food excluding fresh food was up 0.1% on the month, housing fell 0.3%, and water and sewerage charges increased 3.8%. Seasonal adjustment aims to reduce recurring within-year patterns, and the Bureau revises past seasonal factors when December results are released each year.","The release separately identified some estimated contributions. A 100% fall in nursery school fees was associated with a 0.21-point reduction in the annual headline rate; the source presents this within the scope and calculation of the relevant fee component. Contributions attributed to gasoline tax changes and policy effects were explicitly labelled estimates.
