Purpose of collection
This series is part of Stats NZ Business price indexes (BPI) dataset. The primary purpose of the BPI is for use by Stats NZ as deflators in calculating gross domestic product (GDP), which is New Zealand’s official measure of economic growth. These deflators remove the effect of price change to measure change in the volume of goods and services produced in the economy. For this reason, the current BPI aligns closely with the System of National Accounts 2008 (SNA08).
Other uses for the BPI include short-term indicators of producer inflationary trends, and in contract indexation clauses (also known as contract escalation).
