<H3>• U.S. GDP Price Index – Q3 2013</H3>

---

The U.S. Price Index for Gross Domestic Product reached a level of 106.667 (2009 = 100) during the third quarter of 2013. This is up 1.3% from a level of 105.345 at the same time in 2012. This largely parallels the Consumer Price Index increase of 1.2% reported for September 2013. The GDP Price Index is a supplemental measure that is based on household expenditures for which there are observable price measures. It excludes most implicit prices (for example, financial services furnished without payment) and the final consumption expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households.
