Producer Price Index (PPI) 2015=100, 1/2015–8/2021

The rise in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly caused by higher prices of basic metals, oil products and timber from last year's August.

The rise in the export price index was especially due to higher prices of basic metals, oil products and timber from last year’s August. The rise in the import price index was, in turn, especially caused by increased prices of crude oil, chemicals and chemical products and basic metals.

From July to August, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 1.4 per cent. Producer prices were particularly boosted by risen prices of timber and basic metals compared with the previous month.
