Over the month, prices for industrial production sold on the Lithuanian market decreased by 1.5%. The largest decrease in prices was observed for the production of manufacture of refined petroleum products (4.1%) and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (3.4%), while increase – computer, electronic and optical products (1.8%), chemicals and chemical products (1.3%). As for food products, the largest decrease in prices was observed for prepared meals and dishes (3.2%), processed and preserved meat (2.6%), cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery (2.3%), meat and poultry meat products (1.5%), milk and cheese products (1.1%); yet oils and fats went up in price by 6.9%, bread and fresh pastry goods – 2.1%.

The increase in prices was observed for the production of waste collection, treatment and disposal activities, materials recovery (7.5%), manufacture of chemicals and chemical products (3.4%), while price drop was observed for the production of other mining and quarrying (5%), other non-metallic mineral products (4.3%). Over the month, prices for industrial production sold on the euro area market decreased by 0.1%, on the non-euro area market – increased by 0.2%.

 

Over the year (June 2015, against June 2014), prices for the total industrial production sold decreased by 7, refined petroleum products excluded – 2.1%. The overall change in prices was mainly influenced by a decrease in prices for production of manufacture of refined petroleum products (19.1%) and an increase in prices for the production of chemicals and chemical products (13%).

 

The largest decrease in prices was observed for the production of extraction of crude petroleum (28.5%), while increase – computer, electronic and optical products (8%).
