The Composite New Zealand Producers Price Index (PCI) tracks the changes in the prices of inputs and services purchased by producers across all sectors in New Zealand. It is a vital indicator of inflationary pressures at the producer level, which often precede changes in consumer prices. The index covers a wide range of costs, including raw materials, energy, and business services. Analysts use this data to gauge profit margin pressures and the overall cost environment for New Zealand businesses.
The index is calculated using a Laspeyres formula, which measures the price change of a fixed basket of goods and services. Data is collected through surveys of businesses and administrative sources.
