Purpose of the survey

The Survey of Producer Prices measures the change in price of products and services within the Australian economy as they leave the place of production or as they enter the production process. It also measures changes of prices of goods imported into Australia or exported from Australia. 

This price change is measured from the perspective of the industries producing these goods and services, as opposed to the consumer (Consumer Price Index). 

It is vital that this information is collected regularly in order to provide an accurate account of the economy.
