Methodological notes
- The (industrial) producer price index (PPI) is an indicator that measures the monthly change in the trading price of industrial products and related services. As the PPI is an output index, it measures price changes from the producer/manufacturer’s perspectives. In this it differs from the consumer price indices, which measure the prices from the point of view of consumers/buyers.
- The domestic market is defined as all third parties ordering or buying which are residents in the same national territory as the observation unit from which sales or orders are collected.
