Index figure is a change quantity used in price indices, which expresses the price, average price or index of the reference period relative to the price, average price or index of the base period. The index figure of the base period is usually denoted by the number hundred. For example, if the index figure of the commodity is 105.3 in a certain period, it means that the price of the commodity has risen by 5.3 per cent from the base period. Quarterly change refers to the relative change in the index of the quarter compared with the index of the previous quarter. The change is usually expressed in percentages. Annual change is the relative change of the index in comparison with the corresponding time period one year ago (e.g. annual change of total index of consumer prices, i.e. inflation).
