Interface PriceIndex

All Superinterfaces:

FloatingRate, FloatingRateIndex, Index, Named

All Known Implementing Classes:

ImmutablePriceIndex

public interface PriceIndex
extends FloatingRateIndex, Named

An index of prices.

A price index is a normalized average of the prices of goods and/or services. Well-known price indices are published by Governments, such as the Consumer Price Index. The annualized percentage change in the index is a measure of inflation.

This interface represents a price index for a specific region. The index is typically published monthly in arrears, however some regions choose quarterly publication.

The most common implementations are provided in PriceIndices.

All implementations of this interface must be immutable and thread-safe.
