Producer prices in Lithuania climbed 6.5% year-on-year in March 2026, rebounding from an upwardly revised 2.9% drop in the previous month.
This marked the strongest growth in producer prices since March 2023 and the first expansion since December 2024, driven by a sharp recovery in the manufacturing sector (6.7% vs -3.6% in February), particularly in coke and refined petroleum products, which surged by 40.8% after a 15.3% decline.
Additionally, prices rebounded in the mining and quarrying sector (0.5% vs -3.6%) and continued to increase in electricity, gas, steam & air-conditioning supply (6.9% vs 6.2%).
Meanwhile, producer inflation in water supply, sewerage, waste management & remediation activities moderated (2.3% vs 4.8%).
On a monthly basis, producer prices advanced by 8.1%, the highest on record, accelerating from 1.3% in the preceding period.
