Producer prices for manufactured products went down especially due to reductions in the prices of oil products, electricity, and paper and board products from last year's August. The fall in producer prices was particularly curbed by risen prices of precious metals and other non-ferrous metals.

Export prices were, in particular, depressed by the falling prices of oil products and iron and steel from August 2013.

The fall in import prices was especially caused by lower prices of oil products and electricity compared with last year's August.
