Producer Price Indices in February 2008
Producer prices for manufactured goods rose by 3.9 per cent, export prices by 3.2 per cent and import prices by 5.2 per cent from February 2007 to February 2008. The basic price index for domestic supply went up by 5.3 per cent in the year. The year-on-year change in the wholesale price index was 5.0 per cent.
The rise in the producer prices for manufactured products was caused especially by increased prices of oil products from February 2007. The rising of the prices was held back by fallen prices of electric energy.
From January to February, producer prices for manufactured goods went up by 0.8 per cent due to risen prices of, among other things, copper, chemicals and oil products. The rising of the prices was curbed by fallen prices of electrical products.
