Producer Price Index

Producer Price Indices are indicators that measure the monthly variation of prices of goods produced and sold by producers of the country, and they represent the first channel of commercialization or distribution of goods traded in the economy. The Producer Price Indices are constructed from a representative basket of products belonging to each of their productive sectors.

The price measured is the basic price, and it includes only the costs directly associated with the production of the good. It therefore does not include taxes or any other cost associated with the sale (for example, transport). The Producer Price Indices are published near the twenty-fourth of each month.
