- Producer Price Index post decrements in September 2017
The Producer Price Index (PPI, 2000=100) for manufacturing dropped at a slower rate of 0.5 percent in September 2017 from negative growth of 4.4 percent during the same period of previous year. The decrease may be attributed to the significant decline of three major sectors namely: fabricated metal products (44.3 percent), leather products (16.5 percent) and furniture and fixtures (16.3 percent). Refer to Tables 1 and A-1.
By month, PPI slightly went down by 0.2 percent from previous month’s rate of 0.1 percent with eleven sectors posting a negative growth, led by paper and paper products with negative 2.7 percent. Meanwhile, six sectors posted increases while three sectors reflected flat growth. Refer to Tables 1 and A-2.

- Introduction
- Method of Index Computation
Starting with January 2017 PPI, a link factor was used to adjust weight effects and measure the correct price change. The weights are adjusted using the 2013 ASPBI.
- 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 2017 PPS. These are presented in the table below.
