Annual averages

The annual rate of the general Industrial Price Index (IPRI) was -1.5% in August, 1.9 points lower than in July

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, with a rate of -4.5%, 6.4 point lower than in the previous month. This behaviour was due to the decline in prices for Electric power generation, transmission and distribution, which rose in August 2024, and, to a lesser extent, to the fact that prices for Gas production; distribution of gaseous fuels by pipeline increased by less compared to the same month last year.

It is noteworthy, although in the opposite direction, that the decrease in Oil refining prices was lower than in August of the previous year.

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

Non-durable consumer goods, whose annual variation increased by four tenths to -1.1%, as a result of the increase in prices for the Manufacture of vegetable and animal oils and fats, compared to the decrease in the same month of 2024.

The annual variation rate of the general index excluding Energy increased by two tenths, to -0.3%, standing nearly 1.2 points above that of the general IPRI.
