What this value means
Latest month only. Verbatim BCRP HTML table header and the Sep26 cell (value 4.55). Adjacent cells: Jun26 4.01, Jul26 4.07, Ago26 4.44. Jul26 = 4.07 matches the live value, so this is Lima Metropolitana variación % 12 meses, not the national CPI. The result form ends at month 9 of 2026. INEI Informe Técnico, Variación de los Indicadores de Precios de la Economía, setiembre 2026 (https://cdn.www.gob.pe/uploads/document/file/10717713/8663992-10-informe-tecnico-variacion-de-los-indicadores-de-precios-de-la-economia-setiembre-2026.pdf) states: "La tasa anual, correspondiente a los últimos doce meses, muestra una variación de 4,17% para el indicador Nacional y de 4,55% para el de Lima Metropolitana." National 4.17% was not used. The same PDF history table prints JULIO 4,07, AGOSTO 4,44, SETIEMBRE 4,55.
