Producer Price Index for July published one hour late due to server downtime

The Producer Price Index (PPI) for July 2016 was scheduled to be published on 25 August 2016 at 11:30 am.  The release fell in the week during which Stats SA’s offices were being moved to its new home at the Isibalo House in Salvokop, Pretoria. For the period of the move the web server was temporarily moved offsite to State Information Technology Agency (Sita).

Arrangements were made and tested to ensure the release of the PPI on the Stats SA website during this time.

Around 11:30 the temporary web server went down and the publication could not be released to the public. The web server came up at about 12:30 and the PPI was then available.
