The Producer Price Index (PPI) Output measures the month-over-month change in the prices of goods sold by manufacturers. This 'factory gate' price index reflects the inflation experienced by producers before goods reach the retail level. It is a key indicator of inflationary pressure within the economy, as changes in producer prices typically precede changes in consumer price indices. The data excludes Value Added Tax (VAT) but includes excise duties on goods like tobacco and alcohol.
The index is based on a survey of manufacturers' selling prices for a representative basket of goods. It uses the Laspeyres formula to calculate price changes relative to a base period.
