Définition
Producer price indices (PPI) in industry for the French market measure trends in transaction prices, exclusive of VAT, for goods from industrial activities and sold on the French market. Producer price indices in industry for foreign markets show trends in transaction prices (converted into Euros and therefore including exchange rate effects), FAB, of goods from the activities of French industry sold on foreign markets.
The combination of these two indices determines the producer price indices for industry (French and foreign markets).
These indices are calculated using the monthly price reports on some 24,000 products collected from a representative sample of 4,200 companies in the framework of the Industrial Prices and Corporate Services Observation Survey.
