The Export Price Index measures the annual change in the prices of goods and services sold by U.S. residents to foreign buyers. It provides a measure of price inflation for U.S. exports and is a key indicator of the competitiveness of domestic products in international markets. Changes in export prices can affect the nation's trade balance and the overall strength of the economy. It also helps in understanding the global demand for domestic production and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
The index is calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) using price data for a representative basket of exported goods. It uses the Laspeyres formula to compare current prices to a base period, adjusted for quality changes.
