How is deflation measured?

Deflation is measured by tracking the changes in price levels of goods and services over time, primarily through price indices such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Producer Price Index (PPI). When these indices show a decrease in the overall price level, it indicates deflation. Economists analyze the percentage change in these indices from one period to another to quantify the rate of deflation. A sustained decline in prices over several months or quarters typically signals a deflationary trend.
