For its second session, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Knowledge Exchange Series (KES) (formerly known as the PSA Brown Bag Discussion) is centered around the research titled “Consumer Price Index - Producer Price Index Manufacturing Relationship”. This study, conducted by Director Nikkin L. Beronilla, Mr. Manuel Angelo M. Casalan, Mr. John Paul C. Sacop, and Ms. Melanie C. Estrada, takes a closer look at the intricate dynamics between the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index in manufacturing.¹
