Producer Price Index (PPI) 2015=100, 1/2015–4/2018

The increase in the producer prices for manufactured goods was particularly attributable to risen prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, oil products and chemicals and chemical products from April 2017. The rising of producer prices was curbed above all by falls in the prices of waste and food.

The Export Price Index rose by 4.0 per cent and the Import Price Index by 3.5 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 3.1 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including Taxes rose by 3.0 per cent.

Export prices were, in particular, boosted by the higher prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, and chemicals and chemical products from April last year. The rising of the prices was curbed among other things by falls in the prices of waste. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of oil products and waste compared with last year's April. The rising of the prices was curbed above all by falls in the prices of electronic appliances.

From March to April, producer prices for manufactured goods went up by 0.4 per cent. The rise was mainly due to increased prices of oil products from the previous month.
