How is the IGP-M that defines rent inflation formed?

To establish the IGP-M, three sub-indices are calculated: IPA-M (Broad Producer Price Index – Market), IPC-M (Consumer Price Index – Market) and INCC-M (National Construction Cost Index – Marketplace).

IPA-M

The IPA-M measures the prices of wholesale products, from both agribusiness and domestic industry. That is, this indicator evaluates prices before the products reach the final consumer.

It corresponds to 60% of the composition of the IGP-M.

IPC-M

The IPC-M is responsible for analyzing consumption in the areas of health, housing, education, leisure, clothing, transport, among others.

It corresponds to 30% of the composition of the IGP-M.

INCC-M

The INCC-M calculates the fluctuation in the cost of products used in housing construction and the cost of skilled labor in this sector.

Corresponds to 10% of the IGP-M composition.

Thus, the IGP-M is the indicator that considers prices in the civil construction, agriculture, housing services, retail and industry sectors.
