Quarterly Producer Price Index for Final Demand - the input-cost inflation gauge that completes the inflation triad alongside CPI (consumer inflation) and WPI (wage inflation). Cited by RBA in every Statement on Monetary Policy, by AFR in every quarterly inflation story, by bank chief economists modelling pass-through. Defaults to YoY % change of Total All Industries, Total source (domestic + imports), Total excluding exports destination, quarterly cadence - the canonical headline series. Latest reading (Q1 2026): PPI Final Demand YoY 3.0% (vs Q1 2025). Override `index` to drill into specific ANZSIC industries (830 available - A=Agriculture, B=Mining, C=Manufacturing, etc.). Override `source` to split domestic vs imports - critical for tracking imported-inflation pass-through. Override `destination` for exports-only, consumer-bound, or capital-bound flows. Joins to abs.CPI (consumer-end inflation) and abs.WPI (wage inflation) by quarter for full inflation pass-through analysis. Customer audience: macro persona - bank chief economists (CBA / Westpac / Macquarie research desks), super fund strategists, RBA-watchers, AFR / Bloomberg / Reuters journalists, Treasury economists.
