Producer prices in Finland rose by 1.9% year-on-year in January 2026, rebounding from a 0.8% fall in the previous month.
This marked the largest increase in producer prices since March 2023, as deflation softed for manufactured products (-0.5% vs -0.9% in December 2025), driven by higher prices in basic metals (5.3% vs 0.7%), pharmaceutical products (9% vs -1.8%), and rubber and rubber products (3.6% vs 0.3%).
At the same time, costs increased in water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation services (4.3% vs 4.2%), while prices recovered sharply in mining and quarrying (3.7% vs -0.3%) and electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning (26.9% vs -2.2%).
On a monthly basis, producer prices grew by 4.3% in January, recovering from a 1% drop in the preceding period.
