Producer Price Index in Iran

Dey 1394

(1390 = 100)

The Producer Price Index (PPI) went down 0.6 percent in Dey following an increase of 0.1 percent in previous month. The index level of 215.0 was 2.8 percent higher than in Dey 1393.

For the first 10 months of 1394, the PPI edged up 5.2 percent, compared to the similar period in 1393.

This index moved up 6.2 percent for the 12 months ended in Dey 1394.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing: In Dey, a 0.1-percent decrease in the prices of this group can be traced to the falls in the indices for sesame, eggplant, carrot, citrus fruits and poultry. In contrast, prices for turnip, lettuce, egg and

"fishing and aquaculture" went up.

Manufacturing: The Manufacturing group index moved down 0.8 percent, which was mostly due to the declines in the indices for machine-made carpet, "particle board and laminated particle board", jet propulsion fuel (type

4), lube cut, acetic acid, propylene, dry pyrolysis gasoline, polypropylene,

"manufacture of exported plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms", plastic bag and sacks, "manufacture of glass and glass products", ordinary brick, basic iron and steel, zinc ingot, metal framework in construction, metal can and copper wire. in contrast, prices for sugar, dry tea, methanol, butane, propane,

1 "hand washing liquid and soap", tire thread, asphalt, tractor and "cooler of car" moved up.

Services: Decrease in the index of freight transport by truck mainly led to a 0.6-percent fall in the services group. Conversely, prices for hotel accommodation cost, physiotherapy and "hairdressing and other beauty treatment" moved up.
