Technical Guide for the Industrial Product Price Index
Articles and reports: 62F0014M2025009Description: This technical guide presents the data sources and methodology for the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI). The IPPI measures monthly price changes for major products sold by Canadian manufacturers, covering goods destined for both domestic and export consumption. Its primary function is to support the Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts, where it is used for deflation in the calculation of monthly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Supply and Use Tables (SUT). The index also serves as an important indicator of manufacturing sector performance and is useful for price analysis and contract escalation.
