FGI Methodology Update

With the start of 2026, DecisionNext has officially updated the base year used in its monthly Finished Goods Index Report, transitioning from 2024 to 2025. This rollover ensures the index continues to provide timely, relevant insights by anchoring its calculations to the most recent complete year of pricing data. The Finished Goods Index is a Laspeyres Price Index—a method that compares the cost of a fixed basket of goods at current prices to the cost of that same basket in a designated base year.
