澳大利亞統(tǒng)計局周一公布數(shù)據(jù)顯示,該國生產(chǎn)者物價指數(shù)(PPI)第二季度增長0.5%,而前值下降0.3%。澳大利亞經(jīng)濟學家表示,這些價格數(shù)據(jù)反映了澳元匯率走軟對PPI第二季度的推動。
Australia's producer price index (PPI) at the final stage of production rose 0.5 percent in the June quarter, following a 0.3 percent fall in the March quarter, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported Monday. Australian economists said the weaker Australian dollar had driven the PPI up in the June quarter.
“producer price index”,縮寫“PPI”,意思是“生產(chǎn)者物價指數(shù)” ,也稱“生產(chǎn)價格指數(shù)”,是衡量工業(yè)企業(yè)產(chǎn)品出廠價格變動趨勢和變動程度的指數(shù),是反映某一時期生產(chǎn)領域價格變動情況的重要經(jīng)濟指標,也是制定有關經(jīng)濟政策和國民經(jīng)濟核算的重要依據(jù)。
與CPI不同的是,PPI主要的目的是衡量企業(yè)購買的一籃子物品和勞務的總費用。理論上來說,生產(chǎn)過程中所面臨的物價波動將反映至最終產(chǎn)品的價格上,所以通常認為生產(chǎn)物價指數(shù)的變動對預測消費物價指數(shù)的變動是有用的。
