Geographically, PPI covers 14 regions, the cities of Almaty, Shymkent and Astana.
Base price developments are monitored through monthly surveys (more than 6,000 price quotations are recorded in total) broken down by activity, product and stage of processing. The selection of enterprises in each region is carried out on the basis of a sampling method of observation in accordance with the current methodology.
The sampling frame is constantly expanding to take into account changes in the structure of industrial production in the republic. The concepts, definitions and classifications used in compiling the PPI follow the guidelines set out in the PPI Guide.
PPI is based on the General Classification of Economic Activities (GCTEA), which is similar to the Standard Classification of Economic Activities of the European Community (NASE) and the Statistical Classification of Industrial Products (SCIP) developed from the European Union List of Industrial Products (PRODKOM).
When forming weight components, the cost of manufactured industrial products by enterprises of Kazakhstan for a certain year is used. Concepts and definitions comparable to those set out in the PPI Manual are used to define goods and services for which price data are regularly collected.
Producer price indices for agricultural products and construction are constructed separately based on the same methodology that is used in constructing the main PPI. In addition, producer price indices for transport and communications services are compiled separately. Since 2006, the CS has been compiling the PPI for forestry products and services and the wholesale price index, since 2010. construction of a price index for fishery and aquaculture products has been carried out, since 2011. - price index for rental of commercial real estate, since 2017. - price index for warehousing and storage services, since 2018. – price index for services in the field of advertising and market research.
