The Labour Cost Index (LCI) measures the annual change in the cost of labor to businesses, including wages and non-wage benefits. It is a key indicator of wage inflation and reflects the underlying pressure on consumer prices from the production side. Central banks monitor this index closely to determine if rising labor costs are likely to lead to broader inflationary trends.
Calculated by surveying a representative sample of businesses to track changes in the price of a fixed quantity of labor. It adjusts for changes in the quality and quantity of work to isolate pure price movements.
