The drop in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly attributable to fallen prices of oil products, pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, as well as electricity from May 2019.

The export price index fell by 8.0 per cent and the import price index by 9.4 per cent in the year. The basic price index for domestic supply went down by 5.8 per cent. The basic price index for domestic supply including taxes fell by 5.5 per cent.

The decrease in the export price index was in particular affected by lower prices of oil products, pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard compared to May last year. The fall in the import price index was, in turn, especially attributable to reductions in the prices of oil products and electricity.

From April to May, the producer prices for manufactured goods remained unchanged, on average.
