According to Statistics Finland, producer prices for manufactured products rose by an average of 3.2 per cent from June 2016 to June 2017.

The rise in the producer prices for manufactured products was particularly caused by increased prices of manufacturing of basic metals, chemicals and chemical products, as well as food from June 2016. The rising of the prices was curbed particularly by falls in the prices of paper and paperboard, and oil products.

The Export Price Index rose by 3.6 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 4.3 per cent. The Basic Price Index for Domestic Supply including taxes went up by 4.0 per cent.

Export prices were, in particular, boosted by the higher prices of manufacturing of basic metals and chemicals and chemical products from June 2016. The rise in prices was curbed especially by lower prices of paper and paper board products. The rise in import prices was, in turn, especially caused by higher prices of metal ores, manufacturing of basic metals and hard coal compared with the previous year's June. The rising of the prices was curbed above all by falls in the prices of oil products.

From May to June, producer prices for manufactured products fell by 0.5 per cent. The fall was mainly due to decreased prices of oil products from the previous month.
