Notes
SDDS 'Wholesale Price Index - More Data.xls'. Laspeyres formula, base year 1974=100, weights from 1974 domestic-production value shares (CBSL's SDDS metadata PDF alongside this file); not seasonally adjusted. Discontinued after 2017-09 - the metadata says DCS intended to rebase it to 2008 and, as far as this mirror shows, never published a successor.
