Producer prices for manufactured products went down especially due to reductions in the prices of pulp, oil products and basic iron and steel from last year’s July.

The export price index fell by 2.0 per cent and the import price index by 2.0 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 0.2 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes rose by 0.2 per cent.

Export prices were in particular depressed by the falling prices of pulp, basic metals and oil products from July 2018. The fall in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by lower prices of oil products, waste and basic metals.

From June to July, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.5 per cent. Producer prices increased particularly due to higher prices of electricity and oil products compared to the previous month.
