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

The export price index fell by 5.0 per cent and the import price index by 6.8 per cent in the year. The basic price index for domestic supply went down by 4.4 per cent. The basic price index for domestic supply including taxes fell by 4.3 per cent.

The decrease in the export price index was in particular affected by lower prices of oil products, pulp, paper, paperboard and cardboard, as well as iron and steel compared to July 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 June to July, producer prices for manufactured goods fell by 0.1 per cent. Producer prices were particularly depressed by the drop in the prices of electricity compared to the previous month. The fall of prices was, in turn, curbed particularly by risen prices of oil products.
