Notes
1. Explanation of indicators
The Industrial Producer Price Index includes the Producer Price Index for Industrial Products (PPI) and the Industrial Producer Purchase Price Index.
The ex-factory price index of industrial producers reflects the changing trend and variation range of ex-factory prices at the time of the first sale of industrial products.
The industrial producer purchase price index reflects the change trend and the extent of change in the purchase price of industrial products as intermediate inputs.
2. Scope of statistics
The statistics on the ex-factory prices of industrial producers cover the prices of more than 20,000 industrial products in 1638 basic categories; the statistics on purchase prices of industrial producers cover the prices of more than 10,000 industrial products in more than 900 basic categories.
3. Survey method
Industrial Producer Price Survey adopts a survey method that combines key surveys and typical surveys. Companies that have a business income of over 20 million yuan a year have adopted key survey methods; enterprises with a business income of less than 20 million yuan a year have adopted a typical survey method. The producer price survey involves more than 50,000 industrial enterprises in the country.
4. Statistical standards
The basis of the industrial industry division criteria is the "National Economic Sector Classification" (GB/T4754-2017).
