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.

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.
