The drop in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly attributable to fallen prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, as well as oil products and timber from November 2018.

The export price index fell by 1.0 per cent and the import price index by 0.5 per cent in the year. The basic price index for domestic supply went down by 0.3 per cent. The basic price index for domestic supply including taxes fell by 0.1 per cent.

The decrease in the export price index was in particular affected by cheaper prices of pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, as well as timber compared to November last year. The fall in the import price index was, in turn, especially attributable to reductions in the prices of iron and steel.

From October to November, producer prices for manufactured goods fell by 0.2 per cent. Producer prices were particularly depressed by the drop in the prices of timber compared with the previous month.
