Explanatory Notes on Main Statistical Indicators

Producer Price Indices The Amount receivable by the producer from the purchaser for a unit of a good or service produced as output minus any value-added tax, or similar deductible tax, invoiced to the purchaser. It includes any transport charges invoiced separately by the producer.

Consumer Price Indices measures the period-to-period proportional change in the prices of a fixed set of consumer goods and services of constant quantity and characteristics, acquired, used or paid for by the reference population. Each summary measure is constructed as a weighted average of a large number of elementary aggregate indices. Each of the elementary aggregate indices is estimated using a sample of prices for a defined set of goods and services obtained in, or by residents of, a specific region from a given set of outlets or other sources of consumption goods and services.
