Stacked bars reflect the percentage point contributions of each of the 87 class-level items to the difference in 12-month growth rates. The contribution of each of the 87 class-level items is estimated separately, before being aggregated to seven distinct categories. 2. A reduction in the contribution of series to the annual rate of change need not imply falling prices but could also reflect a lower rate of increase than the previous year. 3. Contributions may not sum due to rounding."
