Business Term of the day Wholesale inflation – The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) reflects changes in the average prices of goods at the wholesale level — that is, commodities sold in bulk and traded between businesses or entities rather than goods bought by consumers. There are certain limitations in using WPI as a measure for inflation, as WPI does not consider the price of services, and it does not reflect the consumer price situation in the country. he index basket of WPI categorises commodities under three groups — primary articles, fuel and power & manufactured products.
