The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures changes over time in the prices received by domestic producers for their output. Compiled monthly by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR), the index covers three market scopes: all Rwanda (the headline general index), local market products, and export products. Each scope is broken down by ISIC rev. 4 sector, including mining and quarrying, manufacturing sub-sectors (food, beverages, textiles, chemicals, non-metallic minerals, basic metals, and furniture), electricity and gas supply, and water supply. Sector weights reflect the composition of Rwandan domestic production. The series begins in December 2010. Each monthly release publishes a cumulative time-series file covering the full history from the base period to the reference month.
