Canada Raw Materials Price Index (RMPI) y/y shows a change in raw material prices purchased by manufacturers in the specified month compared to the same month of the previous year. Unlike the Industrial Product Price Index, RMPI includes purchasing positions produced outside of Canada.

The indicator demonstrates the level of inflation. It is a leading indicator of production activity.
