Statistics Estonia analyst Eveli Šokman said: ""In July, compared with June 2020, the PPI was affected more than average by a price fall in electricity supply, the manufacture of wood and food products and by price increases in the production of electrical equipment, peat products and gravel." 

Price falls in electricity and heat energy supply, compared with July last year, as well as in the production of electronic equipment and fuel oils also exerted an influence, the agency said. Price increases in the manufacture of metal products were also a factor. 

Electricity, forestry products, paper and paper products and textile products fell the most, while the prices of oil and peat products and agricultural products rose, Statistics Estonia says. 

Oil and chemical products prices, and those for electrical equipment, rose at an above-average rate, while the prices of electricity, leather products and footwear and metal products fell. 

The export price index fell by 6.7 percent on year to July, and by 0.2 percent between June and July this year.

The import price index decreased by 6.1 percent on year, and rose by 0.6 percent between June and July this year.
