The increase in the producer prices for manufactured goods was particularly attributable to risen prices of oil products, pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, and chemicals and chemical products from June 2017.

The Export Price Index rose by 7.9 per cent and the Import Price Index by 8.1 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went up by 5.8 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including Taxes went up by 5.7 per cent.

Export prices were in particular boosted by the higher prices of manufacturing of oil products, and pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard from June 2017. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of oil products and waste compared with last year's June. The rising of the prices was curbed above all by falls in the prices of electronic appliances.

From May to June, producer prices for manufactured products rose by 0.7 per cent. The rise was mainly due to increased prices of electricity from the previous month.
