3.2 PPI indicators in the MEI
Part One of MEI publishes a table of aggregate indices for manufacturing whilst Part Two contains a range of different country disaggregations. These are mainly either on an activity basis (e.g. total industry, manufacturing, mining, electricity, gas and water) or by type of end use (e.g. finished investment goods, finished consumer durables, finished consumer non-durables, intermediate goods), though indices on individual commodities are provided for some countries. As the country descriptions of the indicators provided in Main Economic Indicators: Sources and Definitions show, individual Member countries compile and disseminate a range of indices in respect of the manufacturing sector. These comprise: • input price indices for the market purchase prices of raw materials/inputs to the manufacturing process; • output price indices for goods as they leave the factory gate; • wholesale price indices which refer to prices received by wholesalers; • indices covering exported commodities; • indices covering imported commodities. Table 12 lists the types of indices published in Main Economic Indicators. Although some countries may publish a range of these types of series (in particular output price indices and wholesale price indices), only those series types published in Main Economic Indicators are shown here. Moreover, it does not list the series by activity or by type of end use since the published series vary considerably across Member countries that such a list would be too cumbersome. However, a number of target series have been targeted for countrywide inclusion in MEI. These series are listed in Table 1 in Part 1.5. They are available or are expected to become available at national level for most OECD countries, in particular the EU Member States, within the next year. Target series that are available for a particular country will be included in MEI within a similar timeframe. In terms of data that can currently be compared across countries in MEI, output PPIs for manufacturing are published in Part One. However, at the present time, Iceland and Slovak Republic are not included in the subject table and for Mexico, Austria, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey, alternative series are used because PPIs for manufacturing are not available.
