Methodological information:
Producer price index in industry is an indicator characterizing industrial production price fluctuations over a set period.
The contribution of a given economic activity to the overall industrial producer price index (PPI) is assessed by calculating an impact. Economic activities having insignificant price changes but taking large share of the index can influence the overall PPI more than the products having little share but major price changes.
Information on producer prices in industry was collected from more than 600 enterprises and supplemented with tariffs on selected services and enterprises regulated by the Public Utilities Commission. In total, more than 2.5 thousand prices of industrial products and services were used in index calculations – about 1.4 thousand for the domestic market and 1.1 thousand for the non-domestic market.
The published industrial producer price index is revised when updated, corrected, or late data have a significant impact on the overall index within a 12-month period – one exceeding 0.1 percentage point.
Additional methodological information on the producer price index in industry is available in the official statistics portal Reference metadata section.
