Changes in the last month

The monthly rate of change was positive on the domestic and export markets, but negative on the import market in October. This resulted in a positive monthly rate of change for both Producer Price Index and Price Index for Domestic Supply during the same period.

The main upward contribution on the domestic market came from higher prices on trade services of electricity. Prices also rose in district heating and basic precious and other non-ferrous metals. This upturn was offset by price decreases on food products, sawn and planed wood, basic iron and steel and other machinery and equipment.

On the export market the main upward contribution came from higher prices on basic precious and other non-ferrous metals. Prices also rose in basic iron and steel and waste collection, treatment and disposal- and materials recovery services. This upturn was offset by price decreases on paper and paperboard, refined petroleum products and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers.

The main contributions to the decrease on the import market came from lower prices on crude oil and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers. This downturn was somewhat offset by higher prices on other machinery and equipment.
