Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing Services Price Index, third quarter 2022

The Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing Services Price Index measures price changes of rental and leasing activities for the commercial and industrial machinery and equipment industry.

With each release, data for the previous quarter may have been revised. The index is not seasonally adjusted. Data are available at the Canada level only.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, data for the first and second quarters of 2020 could not be collected. The missing indexes were estimated using other benchmarking methods. Estimates for the first and second quarters of 2020 should be used with caution.

This webpage provides Canadians with a single point of access to a wide variety of statistics and measures related to producer prices. The portal offers an array of information on topics such as manufacturing, construction, professional services, distributive trades, and financial services. The portal will be updated regularly as new information becomes available.

The video "Producer price indexes" is available on the Statistics Canada Training Institute webpage. It provides an introduction to Statistics Canada's Producer Price Indexes—what they are, how they are produced, and what they are used for.
