Explanatory Notes
General notes
The retail price is defined as money cost to the consumer of a specified unit of sale which is inclusive of all rebates and discounts etc.
Consumer price index (CPI): It indicates time fluctuations of retail prices of goods and services purchased by the consumers for non
production consumption within a specified period of time. It is a ratio of value of a fixed basket of main goods and services at the prices of
current period as related to its value at the prices of the base period. CPI is calculated monthly on the basis of statistical data collected wh
observing price changes in retail trade and service establishments and also in commodity, mixed and food market and as well as on data
actual structure of consumer expenditures of households for the previous year.
Producer price index: It measures the average changes in producers' prices over a period of time. It represents bulk transaction gener
the early stage of trading. The price pertaining to bulk transactions may have divergent nomenclatures e.g. farm harvest prices, wholesale
prices, procurement prices, support prices, administered prices, import prices, forward prices etc. Wholesale price index relates to the
transactions at the primary stage which broadly correspond to producer prices.
Brazil
The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is the government organisation responsible for the computation of th
Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA), which is the official and main inflation indicator of the country. IPCA is used by the Cen
Bank to monitor objectives set in the inflation targets system. The index is computed on a monthly basis and refers to families inhabiting
urban localities, with monthly income, from any source, ranging from 1 (one) to 40 (forty) minimum wages. The geographical
coverage of the index encompasses 16 areas. The indicator ensures a coverage of approximately 90% of urban areas in the geographica
scope of the research.
The index tracks the movement of prices of a fixed basket of goods and services consumed by households, conceived from t
Household Budget Survey (Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares — POF), which depicts the consumption habits of Brazilian families. The
weights applied to the calculation of the current consumer price indices of IBGE are based on the Household Budget Survey (POF) condu
2017/2018.
Apparel includes clothing (female, male and child); footwear and accessories; jewels and trinkets; fabrics and haberdashery.
China
Consumer price indices: reflect the trend and degree of changes in prices of consumer goods and services purchased by urban and rural
households during a given period. They are obtained by combining consumer price indices of urban household and consumer price indice
rural household. The indices enable the observation and analysis of the degree of impact of the changes in the prices of retail goods and
services on the actual living expenses of urban and rural residents.
Producer price indices: for Industrial Products reflect the trend and degree of changes in general exfactory prices of all industrial goods du
given period, including sales of industrial goods by an industrial enterprise to all units outside the enterprise, as well as sales of consumer
to residents. It can be used to analyze the impact of ex-factory prices on gross output value and value-added of the industrial sector.

Consumer Price indices (% change from the preceding year): A price index is a measure of the proportionate, or percentage, changes in
prices over time. A consumer price index (CPI) measures changes in the prices of goods and services that households consume.
Producer Price Index (% change from the preceding year): Producer Price Indices (PPIs) are key economic indicators and critical inputs in
decision-making processes. The Ethiopian Agriculture Producer Price Index (Ag-PPI) measures the average change over time in the selli
prices received by farmers for their output.
India
Consumer Price Index: measures a change over time in prices of a fixed basket of goods and services consumed by a household. CPI is
used as a macroeconomic indicator of inflation, as a tool by governments and central banks for inflation targeting and for monitoring price
stability, and as deflators in the national accounts. The Price Statistics Division (PSD) of the National Statistical Office (NSO, Ministry of
Statistics and Programme Implementation [MoSPI]), has been compiling and disseminating Consumer Price Index for Rural, Urban & Com
Sector since its inception in 2011.
The Price Statistics Division (PSD): of the National Statistical Office (NSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI
started compiling Consumer Price Index (CPI) separately for rural, urban, and combined sectors on monthly basis with Base Year (2010=
for all India and States/UTs with effect from January 2011. It revised the Base Year of the CPI from 2010=100 to 2012=100, incorporating
methodological improvements in consonance with the international practices with effect from January, 2015. Monthly price data are co
from 1114 markets in 310 selected towns and from 1181 selected villages by the Field Operations Division, NSO. The prices
being collected through Web Portals. The CPI for Rural, Urban & Combined sector is released monthly with time lag of 12 days (
12th working day of following month or on the next working day of following month, if 12th is a holiday)
Index number of wholesale prices: in India is compiled by Office of Economic Adviser, Ministry of Commerce & Industry. Th
present series has 2011-2012 as the base year and the data is released monthly. It is the most commonly used as measure of Inflation in
Item Basket and the weighting digram is based on Gross Value of Output as obtained from National Accounts Statistics, 2007. Seasonal I
have also been included and when they disappear, their weight is distributed over remaining items in the sub group on a pro rata basis.
1993-94 series, in the new series, instead of Public Distribution System prices of paddy and wheat, their procurement prices ha
been included to correctly represent the first point of sale.
The existing series is based on ex-factory/ex-mine prices in respect of the manufactured items. In the case of Agricultural commodities,
however, the prices as quoted in primary wholesale markets are used. The collection of price data is through correspondence & self filing
information. Varous units submit the prices electronically through online forms.
The index is compiled on the principle of weighted arithmetic mean according to the Laspeyre’s formula, which has fixed base year weigh
operating through the entire life span of the series up to 2016, and from 2017, the index is compiled on the principle of weig
average method.

Consumer price indices: (CPI) indicates time fluctuations of prices on goods and services purchased by the consumers for
nonproduction consumption within a specified period of time. It measures a ratio of value of a fixed basket of main goods and services a
prices of the current period as related to its value at the prices of the base period. CPI is calculated monthly on the basis of statistical data
collected while observing level of prices in retail trade, service and catering establishments and markets and as well as on data of actual
structure of consumer expenditures of households for 2 previous years.
CPI is computed for the urban population and it is diffused for the whole population.
Producer price indices: (PPI) for industrial goods are complied on the basis of recording prices for representative goods (services) produc
10 thousand basic (key) organisations covered by the survey. Average prices and price indices are calculated for more than 1200
representative goods (services) since 2020 year. Producer prices are actual prices for produced and shipped goods (services
rendered) provided for selling on the domestic market (except indirect taxes). PPI calculated for representative goods (services)
be gradually aggregated into indices of corresponding types, kinds, classes, divisions of economics activities. Data on the volume of shipm
value terms of the base period are being used as the weight factors.
