Producer and import price index for commodities

Approximately 7400 prices are collected each month. Of these, approximately 3800 prices are used for calculating the Producer Price Index for Commodities and approximately 3600 for calculating the Import Price Index for Commodities and approximately 5900 prices to calculate the Domestic Supply Price Index.

The sample of approximately 7400 prices are distributed over approximately 1100 item groups. These product groups are selected so that they cover a minimum of 70 percent of the total turnover value for the target population. Within each of these product groups, the largest companies are selected (top-down), based on revenue value. By selecting the largest companies within a given product group, it is assumed that as per basic market theory these larger companies, as price influencers, have both a large direct share or transactions but also an even larger indirect representativeness which helps to ensure a representative sample for the entire product group. Each of these companies is requested to select their most representative commodities, i.e. those products that most represent their sales and/or purchasing behavior within a given product group. In order to match the sales balances in the national accounts, only prices are collected from companies that have production or import value within the specific product groups.

Each selected company is determined by their legal entity registration. In Denmark's Statistics Business Statistical Register, the legal entities are determined by their CVR number. In cases where a company has multiple CVR numbers sharing the same activity these can be combined into one unit from which prices are collected, for example, franchises. The companies must, as far as possible, report the price in force on the 15th of the month. If no price information is available for the 15th of the month, an appropriate day earlier in the month or an average of the prices for the first 15 days of the month can be utilized. For industries or products with high variation within the month – an average price for the whole month is instead preferred.

In order to meet the EU's requirements of actuality the index will from 2025 be using weights that are a maximum of 3 year old at the time of implementation from the Preliminary National Accounts. This means that the weights implemented in 2025 will be from 2022. However, the Preliminary National Accounts have a lower level of detail, which is why it is only possible to obtain the aggregate weight basis for 2022. In order to be able to calculate the individual goods' shares of the weight, we use the weight distributions from 2021 from the Final National Accounts. These are available at a very detailed level, which enables the distribution of weights on the individual goods. This means that the weight base for 2025 is 3 years old, while the weight distribution between goods is 4 years old. These weights covers the main part of all trading in the first turnover stage in Denmark, within the delimitation of the purpose of the statistics. Companies under a defined size are not included in the national accounts of the national accounts.
