Producer Price Index (PPI) 2010=100, 1/2010–3/2016

The fall in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly caused by reductions in the prices of oil products, manufacturing of basic metals and chemicals and chemical products from March 2015. The fall in producer prices was slowed down especially by higher prices of paper and paper board products and manufacturing of machinery and equipment.

The export price index fell by 4.7 per cent and the import price index by 7.5 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went down by 3.8 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes fell by 3.3 per cent.

Export prices were in particular depressed by the falling prices of oil products and manufacturing of basic metals from March 2015. The fall in prices was slowed down especially by higher prices of paper and paper board products. The fall in import prices was in turn especially caused by lower prices of oil products and manufacturing of basic metals compared with the previous year's March. The fall in prices was slowed down, in particular, by higher prices of paper and paper board products.

From February to March, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.5 per cent. The rise was mainly due to increased prices of oil products from the previous month.
