Producer Price Index (PPI) 2015=100, 1/2015–12/2019

The drop in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly attributable to fallen prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, as well as electricity and timber from December 2018. The fall in producer prices was slowed down especially by higher prices of oil products.

The export price index fell by 0.5 per cent and the import price index rose by 1.3 per cent in the year. The basic price index for domestic supply went up by 0.3 per cent. The basic price index for domestic supply including taxes rose by 0.3 per cent.

The decrease in the export price index was in particular affected by lower prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, as well as timber compared with December 2018. The fall in the export price index was particularly curbed by risen prices of oil products. The rise in the import price index was, in turn, especially attributable to risen prices of oil products. The rise in the import price index was curbed above all by lower prices of electricity.

From November to December, producer prices for manufactured products fell by 0.7 per cent. Producer prices were particularly depressed by the drop in the prices of electricity compared with the previous month.
