Producer prices in the Czech Republic dropped by 1.3% year-on-year in November 2025, below market forecasts of a 1.6% decline but slipping further from a 1.2% fall in the previous month.

The latest figure marked the tenth consecutive month of decline and the sharpest since April, driven by lower prices for electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (-3.2% vs -2.6% in October).

Additionally, costs continued to decrease in the manufacturing sector (-0.8% vs -0.7%), with prices falling mainly for chemicals and chemical products (-8.4%) and motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers (-2.5%), while deflation remained unchanged for mining and quarrying (at 4.1%).

On the other hand, producer inflation remained steady for water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation services (at 4.1%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices rose by 0.3% in November, rebounding from a 0.1% loss in the preceding period.
