Producer price indices

The producer price indices measure the price development of commodities, i.e. inflation, from the perspective of enterprises. The indices describe the development in the prices of goods in primary and secondary production and in the prices of services in manufacturing in Finland. The producer price indices comprise five different indices that measure price development differently from each other. These indices are

• the producer price index for manufactured products
• the export price index
• the import price index
• the basic price index for domestic supply
• the basic price index for domestic supply, including taxes, i.e. the former wholesale price index.

The indices are product-based, so the main industry of the enterprises producing products and services is irrelevant. Data are collected from various sources and published monthly.
