Slovenia’s producer prices rose by 0.9% year-on-year in March 2026, easing from a 1.5% increase in the previous month.

This marked the lowest reading since September last year, largely driven by lower costs for electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (-3.4% vs 7.8% in February) and water supply (-3.9% vs -3.5%).

At the same time, producer inflation slightly eased for manufacturing (1.1% vs 1.2%).

Conversely, prices increased further for mining and quarrying (10.2% vs 9.6%).

According to main industrial groups, costs declined mainly for energy (-2.8% vs 6%) and capital goods (-0.1% vs 0.6%), while it increased for consumer goods (2% vs 1.3%), particularly for durable consumer goods (5.1% vs 0.3%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices went up by 0.2% in March, after a flat reading in the preceding period.
