Producer Price Index (PPI) 2015=100, 1/2015–8/2019

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

The export price index fell by 1.8 per cent and the import price index by 2.7 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went down by 0.2 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes fell by 0.2 per cent.

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

From July to August, producer prices for manufactured products fell by 0.2 per cent. Producer prices decreased particularly due to lower prices of oil products and pulp compared to the previous month.
