* Preliminary data
Information: Revision of industrial producer price indices
The industrial producer price indices will be calculated with new weights 2010 from January 2012 on the base of a standard revision of the calculations of the price indices. The price indices with the base December 2005 = 100 will be replaced by the new technical price indices with the base December 2010 = 100. Indices calculated that way will be chained from the 4-digit level of CZ-CPA to the existing indices with the base 2005 average = 100 and thus continuation of the present time series will be ensured.
Publication of all producer price indices for January 2012 will be postponed in the harmony with Catalogue of products for one week at 22 February 2012.
