Producer Price Index (PPI) m/m reflects the percentage change in selling prices for goods produced by South Korean industrial companies in the reported month compared to the previous one. The index is seen as a leading indicator of consumer price inflation. A higher than expected reading can be an indication of the South Korean won strengthening.
