In a direct communication, the source explained (citation):
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has undertaken a review of the Producer Price Index (PPI) Stage of Production (SOP) outputs. As a result, the ABS is proposing discontinuing the SOP time series from December 2019 quarter.
In response, we have:
- Archived the series by marking their metadata as discontinued.
- Segregated in the catalog.
The series run from 1998Q3 to 2019Q3. They reside in the historical catalog:
- Australia » Prices » Producer price index » Discontinued » By stage of production
and include, for example:
- PPICGDUQ.IAUS = [DISCONTINUED] Producer Price Index: Domestic Consumer Goods, (2011-12=100, NSA)
There is one remaining active PPI series in Data Buffet's extract:
- PPITXEXUQ.IAUS = Producer Price Index: Total (excluding exports), (2011-12=100, NSA)
