The average overall PPI (using 2011 as the base year) stood at 319.7 for the period, indicating a 15% increase compared with the previous quarter (spring) and a 39.7% increase over the same quarter of last year.

PPI gauges the price fluctuations of goods and services for the producer whereas CPI measures changes in the price level of a basket of consumer goods and services purchased by households.
In other words, PPI is an index of prices measured at the wholesale, or producer level. It shows trends within the wholesale markets (as it was once called the Wholesale Price Index), production sector, manufacturing industries and commodities markets from the perspective of the seller.
