"Figure 3: The recent slowdown in growth of core inflation can be attributed to transport, and recreation and culture divisions","" "“Core” inflation (%) and contributions from divisions (percentage points), UK, January 2006 to September 2019","" "","" "Notes","1. ""Core"" inflation comprises all items in the CPIH, less energy, food, drink and tobacco. 2. Stacked bars reflect the percentage point contributions of selected class-level items in the Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP) to the annual percentage change in the Core Consumer Prices Index including owner occupied housing. The contribution of each class-level item is estimated separately, before being aggregated to the categories above. Note that 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. 3. Housing is composed of actual rents for housing, owner occupiers’ housing costs, regular maintenance and repair of the dwelling, other services relating to the dwelling, water supply, sewerage collection and Council Tax and rates. Transport includes the purchase of vehicles, operation of personal transport equipment, transport services, passenger transport by road, rail, air and sea. Restaurant and hotels includes restaurants and cafes, canteens and accommodation services. Education reflects the division-level contribution. Recreation and culture reflects the division-level contribution. The ‘other goods and services’ category reflects the combined contributions of the remaining class-level items (clothing and footwear, furniture, household equipment and maintenance, health, communication, miscellaneous goods and services) and a small rounding error, bringing the sum of contributions to the Core CPIH. Please see the [Consumer Prices Indices Technical Manual, 2019](https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/methodologies/consumerpricesindicestechnicalmanual2019) on the ONS website for more details. 4. Contributions may not sum to the total due to rounding."
