Producer Price Index in Iran

Khordad 1397

(1390 = 100)

The Producer Price Index (PPI) went up 2.2 percent in Khordad 1397. The index level of 277.3 was 16.9 percent higher than in Khordad 1396.

For the first 3 of 1397, the PPI edged up 14.8 percent, compared to the similar period in 1396.

This index moved up 12.0 percent for the 12 months ended in Khordad

1397.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing: In Khordad, a 0.2-percent decrease in the prices of this group can be traced to the falls in the indices for eggplant, root vegetables, tomatoes, leaf vegetables and animal production. In contrast, prices for barley, cucumbers, dates, stone fruits, strawberries, Persian Gulf fish and hydrothermal fish went up.

Manufacturing: The Manufacturing group index moved up 1.3 percent, which was mostly due to the rises in the indices for canned fish, processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables, manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats, manufacture of other food products n.e.c., alcohol-free beer, cigarettes, preparation and spinning of textile fibres, machine-made carpet, non-knitted, manufacture of leather and related products, manufacture of veneer sheets and wood-based panels, manufacture of household and personal hygiene paper and

1 cellulose wadding products, jet propulsion fuel (type 4), industrial carbon black, sulphur, paraxylene, propylene, propane, exported ammonia, manufacture of plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms, pesticides and insecticides, manufacture of soap and detergents, industrial adhesive, manufacture of man- made fibres, manufacture of plastics products, glass, manufacture of refractory products, manufacture of plasters of calcined gypsum or calcined sulphate, cement pipe, asphalt, manufacture of basic iron and steel, staple copper, aluminium products, zinc ingot, zinc concentrated, burrow, wall-hung boiler, electrode, coffer, CD and DVD, gas regulator, electromotor and dynamo, transformer, cable, manufacture of domestic appliances, lift truck, manufacture of other general-purpose machinery, manufacture of motor vehicles and trailers.

On the contrary, prices for slaughter poultry, sodium hydroxide, benzene, pyrolysis gasoline, urea and copper concentrate declined.

Services: Increases in the indices of other passenger land transport, freight transport by road, air transport, short term accommodation activities, movie ticket, sports and recreation education, human health activities, and hairdressing and other beauty treatment mainly led to 5.1 percent rise in the services group.
