Industrial producer prices rose in Europe
The August producer price index increased by 1.9% month on month.
The news in brief
According to Eurostat's first estimate of 5 October, in August 2026 industrial producer prices rose by 1.9% compared with the previous month in both the euro area and the EU. In industry excluding energy, the monthly increase was 0.2% in both areas.
How should we interpret it?
The producer price index is not a consumer inflation measure. A business's actual cost changes also depend on its own procurement mix.
