- Producer Price Index decelerates in December 2014
Producer Price Index (PPI, 2000=100) for manufacturing went down by 2.9 percent in December 2014 compared to negative 4.1 percent posted in December 2013. This may be attributed to the double-digit decrements of petroleum products (-27.1%) and basic metals (-11.8%). The downward trend in the producer prices of gasoline, diesel, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas pushed down the annual rate of petroleum products to its lowest since August 2014. On the other hand, ten out of twenty major sectors reflected increments led by tobacco products (11.4%). Refer to Tables 1 and A-1.
On a monthly basis, PPI decreased by 0.8 percent in December 2014. Nine sectors declined led by petroleum products (-8.0%). Furthermore, five sectors posted increases while six sectors remained flat. Refer to Tables 1 and A-2.
