The final demand producer price index in Australia rose by 0.7% qoq in Q2 2021, after a 0.4% growth in Q1. This was the fourth straight quarter of rise in the index and the highest since Q3 2018, lifted by an acceleration in the economic recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 disruptions. There were rises in prices received for heavy and civil engineering construction (1.8%), due to increases in wages and materials; building construction (1.8%), driven by housebuilders capitalizing on improved buyer interest by increasing base prices; and petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (12.1%), influenced by increasing demand and ongoing OPEC+ supply cuts. Offsetting the rise were falls in utilities (-2.5%), due to falls in contractual pricing on electricity supply; and commercial fishing (-12.7%), dragged down by increased seasonal supply of King prawns. Through the year to the second quarter, the index went up 2.2 percent, the highest since Q2 2014. source: Australian Bureau of Statistics
