How is this data produced?
The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the level of prices received by the producer at the first stage of commercialisation (also known as the ex-factory price), relative to a base year (2010 = 100). Ex-factory prices exclude indirect taxes and any transport charges invoiced separately by the producer, unless the transport charges are too difficult to segregate (usually because the firm utilises their own transport facilities rather than hiring transport services). For a deeper understanding of the PPI compilation methodology and related concepts, please refer to the Technical Notes.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
