Scope

The scope of both the Producer and International Trade Price Indexes is primarily linked to the principle purpose of both statistical releases; the compilation of Australian National Accounts and the Balance of Payments.

An understanding the economic principles and framework of both the Australian National Accounts and the Balance of Payments will allow users to fully understand the true scope of the Producer and International Trade Price Indexes in both theory and practice. This detail is available on the next page, The Australian System of National Accounts.
