The PPI for local production inclined by 0.7 per cent in October 2016 compared to September 2016.

However, the index for Agriculture, forestry & fishing recorded a decrease of 4.1 per cent.

The PPI for local production by stage of processing (SOP) inclined by 0.7 per cent in October 2016 compared to the previous month. This inclination was due to increases in the indices for Crude materials for further processing (+1.5%) and Intermediate materials, supplies and components (+0.8%). Meanwhile, the index for Finished goods remained unchanged. [Table II]
