Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices

The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) is the key economic figure to measure inflation in the euro area. The methodology underlying the HICP is documented in the HICP Methodological Manual (<https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/de/web/products-manuals-and-guidelines/-/ks-gq-17-015>). Based on the manual, this package provides functions to access and work with HICP data from Eurostat's public database (<https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database>).
