Producer prices for manufactured products went down especially due to reductions in the prices of electricity, manufacturing of basic metals and paper and board products from last year's June. The fall in producer prices was slowed down, in particular, by higher prices of wood.

The Export Price Index fell by 0.6 per cent and the Import Price Index by 0.1 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went down by 0.7 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes went down by 0.5 per cent.

Export prices were, in particular, depressed by the falling prices of manufacturing of basic metals and chemicals and chemical products from June 2013. The fall in the prices was particularly curbed by risen prices of oil products. The fall in import prices was, in turn, caused by lower prices of chemicals and chemical products, as well as hard coal and brown coal compared with June 2013. The fall in the prices was particularly curbed by risen price of basic precious metals and other non-ferrous metals.

From May to June, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.3 per cent. The rise was mainly due to higher prices of oil products and pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard compared with the previous month.
