Question
Consider the statements regarding the various inflation indices published in the country:
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
- Wholesale Price Index (WPI) does not represent the inflation in services
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) represents the inflation in goods and services
- CPI and WPI represent the inflation of imported goods also
- GDP deflator captures the inflation of the goods and services produced domestically
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Services are not traded/transacted in the wholesale markets. So, WPI data does not include inflation due to services. So, (i) statement is true
When goods are imported in India, first they move to the wholesale mandis and then they come to the retail markets. So, wholesale prices and retail prices both get impacted because of the imported goods.
So, (iii) statement is true.
As the formula of GDP Deflator (is) = $\text"Nominal GDP"/\text"Real GDP"$
Since GDP includes only domestic goods and services, hence, GDP Deflator does not include inflation due to imported goods and services. So, (iv) statement is true.
