The Industrial Producer Price Index (IPPI) recorded a 15% increase in the 1st quarter of this year in Cameroon, according to a report released Monday by the National Institute of Statistics.
In an international context marked by the Ukrainian crisis and the post-COVID-19 economic recovery, production prices in the agri-food industry rose by 8.5%, while oil and natural gas prices increased by more than 30%.
In the other direction, the costs of production and distribution of electricity, water and sanitation remained quasi-stable during the period studied.
In Cameroon, the IPPI measures the evolution of the prices of transactions of industrial goods produced within the economic territory of the country, that is to say the ex-factory prices paid to producers. It is calculated excluding taxes and subsidies and excluding transport margin.
The analysis sample of this index is made up of 103 companies covering 328 company-products, 177 ranges, 48 activity classes, 38 groups and 24 divisions.
