Producer Price Index measures the gross changes in the trading price of products on the domestic and the non-domestic markets, at all stages of processing.

The PPI data are widely used by both the business community and government, and enable monitoring of prices at different stages of the industrial process. The Producer Price Indices are grouped according to the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) Revision 4.
