Producer Price Indices - basic information - January 2013

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.
Price indices of agricultural producers are calculated from January 2013 to the new weighting schemes derived from average sales for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The indices are calculated for  the base where average of 2010 = 100. Published indices for 2010, 2011 and 2012 are also reviewed.
The price indices of market services are calculated from January 2013 to 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) are chained to the existing price indices based on the average of 2005 = 100, thus ensuring the continuation of the indices. The published indices to date will not be revised.

  Publication of all producer price indices for January 2013 are  postponed in the harmony with Catalogue of products for one week at 25 February 2013.
