Estonia’s Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 4.2% year-over-year in September 2026, up from 3.3% in August, signaling a further pickup in cost pressures at the factory gate. The latest figures, updated on 20 October 2026, indicate that producer prices are rising at a faster pace than a month earlier when measured against the same period a year ago.
Both the current and previous readings are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning the 4.2% figure reflects how much producer prices in September 2026 have increased compared with September 2025, while the 3.3% August reading measured prices against August 2025 levels. The acceleration suggests that underlying cost dynamics in Estonia’s production sector strengthened between August and September, which could, over time, filter through to consumer prices and broader inflation if the trend continues.
