- Producer Price Index posts slight increment in November 2018
The Producer Price Index (PPI, 2000=100) for manufacturing slightly increased at a rate of 0.3 percent in November 2018 from a negative growth rate of 0.6 percent during the same period of previous year. The upturn can be attributed to the increases of 14 out of 20 major industry groups with tobacco products posting the highest increase of 19.7 percent. On the contrary, furniture and fixtures (-7.9 percent) led the six industry groups that posted annual decreases. Refer to Tables 1 and A-1.
Month-on-month, PPI slightly descended by 0.7 percent from the previous month’s rate of negative 0.3 percent with petroleum products (-4.9 percent) dominating the decrease, along with other eight major industry groups. Meanwhile, eight major industry groups posted monthly increases while three industry groups reflected a flat growth. Refer to Tables 1 and A-2.

- Introduction
- Method of Index Computation
Starting with January 2017 PPI, a link factor has been used to adjust weight effects and measure the correct price change.
- Industry Coverage
Starting with January 2013 reference month, the PPI utilizes the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC) to classify sectors and industries. Selected industry classes of the 2009 PSIC were grouped to form the 20 industry groupings of the 2018 PPS. These are presented in the table below.
