The Core Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output, excluding volatile food and energy prices. It serves as a critical leading indicator for consumer inflation, as price changes at the producer level are often passed on to consumers. Central banks monitor this figure closely to determine potential shifts in monetary policy.
The index is compiled using price data from thousands of establishments across various industries. It uses a Laspeyres-type formula to aggregate price changes, weighted by the value of shipments from producers, while stripping out the food and energy components.
