IMPORT AND EXPORT PRICE INDEXES

The import and export price indexes measure price changes in agricultural, mineral, and manufactured products for goods bought from and sold to foreigners. They represent increases and decreases in prices of internationally traded goods due to changes in the value of the dollar and changes in the markets for the items. Import and export price indexes are provided monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S. Department of Labor. The data are published in a press release and in the BLS monthly journal,

Monthly Labor Review.
