Producer Price Indices (PPI) for OECD Countries and Major Non-Member Economies
Updated continuously - Data is available in index and in percentage change on the same period of the previous year. Producer prices are PPI for manufacturing. However, some countries do not produce a PPI and a wholesale price index is used as a proxy. In addition, some countries do not have an index which covers only manufacturing.
