Producer Price Indices - basic information - December 2012

The Czech Statistical Office has prepared the standard revision of the calculation of following indices: those of agricultural producer prices and of market services prices.
Since January 2013, price indices of agricultural producers will be calculated on the new weighting schemes derived from average sales for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Indices will be calculated on the base where average of 2010 = 100. Published indices for 2010, 2011 and 2012 will be also reviewed.
Since January 2013, price indices of market services will be calculated on the new weighting scheme based on the structure of sales in 2011. The newly calculated indices (based on the average of 2011 which means 100) will be chained to the existing price indices based on the average of 2005 = 100. The continuation of the indices will be ensured. The published indices to date will not be revised.

Publication of all producer price indices for January 2013 will be postponed in the harmony with Catalogue of products for one week at 22 February 2013.
