Producer Price Index (PPI):
These are indices that measure the average change over time in selling prices by producers of
goods and services. They measure price change from the point of view of the seller. It covers both goods and services while WPI covers only goods. PPI is better than !PI because there is
difference in sellerEs and purchaserEs price due to government subsidies, taxes, and distribution
costs. "a+ority of the ?!8 countries measure inflation based on Producer Price Index 6PPI9. In
most of the countries, WPI has been replaced by PPI due to the broader coverage provided by thePPI in terms of products and industries and the conceptual concordance between PPI and system
the national account. PPI is considered to be more relevant and technically superior compared to
one at wholesale level. -ew examples of countries using PPI are !anada, :)A, Aussies, ).;orea,
:;, )pain, and Italy. ffice of the ?conomic Adviser 6?A9 has taken up the initiative for constructing a Producer Price Index 6PPI9 for India.
