Producer prices in Sri Lanka rose by 2.5% year-on-year in December 2025, accelerating from an upwardly revised 0.6% increase in the previous month.

Additionally, inflation increased further for manufacturing (2.3% vs 0.8%), supported by higher costs of chemical, tobacco, and food products. On the other hand, prices declined at a faster pace for electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (-6% vs -1%).
