The Wholesale Price Report collects prices of product transactions to create the Wholesale Services Price Index (WSPI). This index measures the price movements of services provided by wholesalers. A wholesale service price is defined as the margin earned on the sale of a good.
The WSPI is used in calculations of real gross domestic product (GDP) and economy-wide productivity, and to monitor inflation in the Canadian business sector.
The WSPI can also be used by businesses to measure their performance relative to the industry, evaluate trends, or perform international comparisons of productivity, inflation, and trade.
