Producer prices in Finland rose by 6.9% year-on-year in July 2026, accelerating from a 6.7% increase in the previous month.
The rise was mainly driven by higher prices in the manufacturing sector, which accelerated to 7.6% from 5.8%, particularly refined petroleum products and basic metals.
Producer price growth for water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation services also increased 11.5% from 11.1%.
Meanwhile, producer inflation in mining and quarrying eased to 11.9% from 14.9%.
Price growth was further restrained by a sharp decline in electricity prices, with producer prices in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply falling 4.2% year-on-year, compared with a 15.0% increase in June.
Lower prices for paper and paper products also helped limit the overall increase.
On a monthly basis, producer prices inched up by 0.1% in July, rebounding from a 0.7% fall in the preceding period.
