What is PPI?
Malaysian
Economic
Indicators
Producer Price Index (PPI)

This indicator is similar to CPI but it measures the changes in
the price of intermediate goods and services sold to producers.
This is different from CPI which measures the purchase price of
consumers. Hence, this indicator measures the changes before it
hit the consumer. For example, the PPI includes changes in the
price of oil, which is one of the first items in the production
chain and can be used to predict future changes in CPI.

There are 10 categories in this fixed basket:

  1. Food & Live Animals Chiefly for Food
  2. Beverages & Tobacco
  3. Crude Materials, Inedible Except Fuels
  4. Mineral Fuel / Lubricants & Related Materials
  5. Animal & Vegetable Oils and Fats
  6. Chemicals Related Products N.E.S.
