Producer Price Index (PPI) 2015=100, 1/2015–8/2018

The increase in the producer prices for manufactured goods was particularly attributable to risen prices of oil products, pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, and electricity from August 2017.

The Export Price Index rose by 7.5 per cent and the Import Price Index by 7.7 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 5.9 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including Taxes went up by 5.8 per cent.

Export prices were in particular boosted by higher prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard and oil products from August last year. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of oil products and waste compared with last year's August.

From July to August, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.1 per cent. The rise was mainly due to increased prices of oil products from the previous month.
