Homonym: PPI (Pixels)
The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. It reflects price changes from the perspective of the seller, rather than the consumer. The PPI is an important economic indicator, as it can signal inflation trends before they reach consumers.
PPI is calculated for various industries and products, including manufacturing, agriculture, and services. It helps businesses and policymakers make informed decisions by providing insights into price trends and potential economic shifts. Changes in the PPI can influence monetary policy and economic forecasts.
