Abstract

Input Price Index of Construction Sector (IPICS) as composite index of both construction materials and labours' wages by year was compiled and published by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) for about a couple of decade back. It aims to measure the periodical change in purchaser's price of the construction materials and existing wage rate of labours working in construction sector. These indices were compiled on point to point basis (the current quarter's index is compiled taking the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year as base). Instead of composite IPICS, it is being compiled separately for construction materials and labours' wages in time series separately since 2009/10.
