In October, the producer prices in Estonia did not change
According to Eveli Šokman, leading analyst at Statistics Estonia, compared to September, the producer price index was affected more than average by price decreases in electricity supply and in the manufacture of dairy products and textile products. “The price increases in the manufacture of electronic equipment and wood manufacturing had a reverse impact, which is why the total index did not change compared to the previous month,” added Šokman.
Compared to October 2019, the index was affected more than average by price decreases in electricity and heat energy supply and in the manufacture of fuel oils and electronic equipment. The increase in prices in wood manufacturing and in the manufacture of peat products and gravel also had an impact on the index.
