Estonia’s producer price inflation slowed markedly in February 2026, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) rising just 0.8% year-over-year, down from 4.3% in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 20 March 2026, highlight a significant easing in cost pressures at the factory gate.
The data are based on year-over-year comparisons, where the “actual” figure reflects the change in February 2026 relative to February 2025, and the “previous” figure shows January 2026 compared with January 2025. The sharp deceleration suggests that pipeline inflation pressures in Estonia’s industrial sector have cooled substantially within a single month, potentially easing future price pressures in the broader economy.
While the underlying drivers of the slowdown are not detailed in the release, the move from 4.3% to 0.8% signals a notable shift in producer cost dynamics that market participants and policymakers are likely to watch closely in the coming months.
