Annual averages

The annual rate of the general Industrial Price Index (IPRI) was -7.0% in February, 4.2 points below than that recorded in January and the lowest since March 2024.

By the economic use of the goods, among the industrial sectors that had a notably negative effect on the annual rate of the General IPRI were:

Energy, whose annual variation decreased by 11.7 points, to -22.3%, the lowest since March 2024. This behaviour was a consequence of the decrease in prices for the Production, transportation and distribution of electrical energy and, to a lesser extent, for Gas production; pipeline distribution of gaseous fuels, which rose in February 2025.

It is noteworthy, although in the opposite direction, that the increase in Oil refining prices was higher than in the same month of the previous year.

Intermediate goods, with a rate of 0.1%, dropped by a tenth, as a result of a decrease in the prices of the Production of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, as opposed to the increase in the same month of 2025.

Meanwhile, standing out among the industrial sectors that had a positive influence on the evolution of the rate was:

Non-durable consumer goods, with a variation of 1.0%, one tenth above that of January, due to lower prices in the Manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats, which decreased less than the previous February.

The annual variation rate of the general index excluding Energy decreased by one tenth of a percentage point to 0.8%, and was 7.8 points higher than that of the general IPRI.
