According to Statistics Finland, producer prices for manufactured products rose by an average of 3.9 per cent from January 2016 to January 2017.

The rise in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly caused by increased prices of oil products and manufacturing of basic metals from January 2016. The rising of the prices was curbed particularly by falls in the prices of paper and paper products, and electricity.

The Export Price Index rose by 4.4 per cent and the Import Price Index by 10.7 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 5.2 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes went up by 4.8 per cent.

Export prices were boosted especially by higher prices of oil products and manufacturing of basic metals from the previous year's January. The rise in prices was curbed especially by lower prices of paper and paper board products. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of oil products and metal ores compared with last year's January. The rising of the prices was curbed above all by falls in the prices of food.

From December 2016 to January 2017, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.8 per cent. The rise was mainly due to higher prices of manufacturing of basic metals compared with the previous month.
