Producer prices for manufactured products went down especially due to reductions in the prices of oil products, manufacturing of basic metals, chemicals and chemical products from last year's February. The fall in producer prices was slowed down especially by higher prices of wood.

The Export Price Index fell by 2.1 per cent and the Import Price Index by 3.5 per cent in the year. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply went down by 1.6 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes went down by 1.4 per cent.

Export prices declined especially due to lower prices of oil products and manufacturing of basic metals from the previous year's February. The falling of the prices was curbed particularly by higher prices of machinery and equipment and wood. The fall in import prices was in turn especially caused by lower prices of crude oil and manufacturing of basic metals compared with February 2013. The fall in the prices was particularly curbed by risen price of chocolate and sugar confectionery.

From January to February, producer prices for manufactured goods went up by 0.1 per cent. The rise was mainly due to higher prices of oil products, iron and steel compared with the previous month.
