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
