Released: 2026-10-09

Today, Statistics Canada is releasing the Sector-based Producer Price Indexes for the first time. The indexes measure price changes across four broad producer sectors—energy, non-energy, goods and services—using a methodology developed by the Bank of Canada. The data are intended to support research and analysis of firms’ price-setting behaviour and inflation dynamics, including the development of economic models.

  Note to readers

The indexes are published quarterly and are available at the Canada level only. Data are not seasonally adjusted. With each new release, data for the previous two quarters are revised. When index weights are updated, the series is revised back to the beginning of the weight reference year.
