Producer Price Index (PPI) 2015=100, 1/2015–12/2018

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

The Export Price Index rose by 3.4 per cent and the Import Price Index by 1.5 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 3.4 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including Taxes went up by 3.4 per cent.

Export prices were, in particular, boosted by the higher prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, and chemicals and chemical products from December last year. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of electricity, and chemicals and chemical products from last year's December.

From November to December, producer prices for manufactured products fell by 0.7 per cent. The fall was mainly due to decreased prices of oil products from the previous month.
