Output prices are strongly affected by crude oil price developments. In April, prices of petroleum derivatives increased by over 11 percent year-on-year. In March, prices increased by almost 4 percent year-on-year.
In the chemical industry as well, output prices are affected by changes in the price of crude oil. Output prices of chemical products were almost the same as one year previously. In March, prices decreased almost 1 percent year-on-year.
Just as in the petroleum industry, the price increase of metal products as well as the price increase in the automotive industry was higher than average in manufacturing. Prices of rubber and plastic products as well as prices in the machinery industry were also higher year-on-year.
On the other hand, prices of electronic products and food products as well as prices in the branch repair and installation of machinery were below the level of twelve months previously.
