Manufacturing

Price indexes The ABS compiles two price indexes relating to the manufacturing sector: the Price Indexes of Materials Used in Manufacturing Industries; and the Price Indexes of Articles Produced by Manufacturing Industries (see Prices for more details). Tables 19.19 and 19.20 set out index numbers for selected components of those indexes.
