I’m not sure I like the graph (and the whole report). It feels like it prices stopped growing, the representation in the chart would go down as it would be compared to a growing base number as time goes on.

    It seems clear to me, but get the confusion.

    A cumulative graph for both figures would be good. It would show that, yes wages and CPI are the same right now, but here’s the cumulative difference since [whenever].

    There’s also a case for 2%, rather than 0, to be the baseline if that’s the long term target. It’s written that way, but not graphically represented as well.

    Yeah, that graph is hugely misleading. I think that most of the population would glance at it and assume that wages had caught up with the last few years of price rises.
