The final demand producer price index in Australia increased by 1.3% qoq in Q4 2021, after a 1.1% rise in Q3. This was the sixth straight quarter of rises in the index and the highest reading since Q3 2013, boosted by a faster economic recovery in the wake of COVID-19 disruptions. There were rises in prices received for output of building construction (2.9%), due to ongoing strong demand for housing and builders passing on rising material and labor costs; heavy and civil engineering construction (1.4%), due to rises in steel, oil; motor vehicle and motor vehicle part manufacturing (4.4%), due to ongoing shortages of semi-conductors and other components limiting production. Offsetting the rise were price falls in utilities and drainage services (-0.9%), due to higher electricity consumption spread over fixed costs; and sugar and confectionery manufacturing (4.4%), amid Christmas discounting. Through the year to Q4, producer prices went up 3.7%, the most since Q1 2009. source: Australian Bureau of Statistics
