Producer Price Index Input m/m shows the change in the price of raw materials and fuel purchased by UK enterprises in the given month compared to the previous month. The index calculation includes imported and domestic materials and fuel.

The index reflects the operational expenses of British manufacturers and is a leading indicator of consumer inflation. The indicator growth may have a positive effect on the pound quotes.
