What the figures show
A monthly rise of 0.2% means prices changed relatively little compared with August. The annual figure of 3.2% shows how much more expensive the average basket of consumer goods and services has become over twelve months.
The information available from the source is limited to the headline figures, and it does not include a breakdown of price changes by groups of goods and services.
