Producer prices for manufactured products grew by 3.8 per cent from August last year

According to Statistics Finland, producer prices for manufactured products rose by an average of 3.8 per cent from August 2016 to August 2017.

Producer Price Index (PPI) 2010=100, 1/2010–8/2017

The increase in the producer prices for manufactured goods was particularly attributable to risen prices of manufacturing of basic metals, oil products and chemicals and chemical products from August 2016. The rising of producer prices was curbed particularly by falls in the prices of paper and paper products and printing services.

The Export Price Index rose by 4.2 per cent and the Import Price Index by 8.9 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 4.8 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes went up by 4.5 per cent.

Export prices were, in particular, boosted by the higher prices of manufacturing of basic metals and chemicals and chemical products from August 2016. The rising of the prices was curbed particularly by fallen cost of paper and paper board. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of metal ores, oil products and manufacturing of basic metals compared with the previous year's August. The rising of the prices was curbed above all by falls in the prices of electrical equipment.

From July to August, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.1 per cent. The rise was mainly due to increased prices of oil products from the previous month.
