The Estonian Producer Price Index (PPI) exhibited a slight uptick in August 2025, as per the latest data updated on September 22, 2025. The PPI, a critical economic measure that tracks the average change in selling prices received by domestic producers for their output, shifted from -2.2% in July to -1.6% in August, marking a gradual easing of deflationary pressures in Estonian industrial production.
This improvement marks a year-over-year comparison, reflecting a less pronounced decline in producer prices compared to the previous period. Economists monitor shifts in the PPI as it can indicate changes in consumer prices down the supply chain, potentially signaling broader economic trends.
Despite still being in negative territory, the lesser contraction points to a stabilization within the industrial sector. As producers adjust to the prevailing economic conditions, the slight resurgence may suggest the beginnings of recovery from previous downward trends. Analysts will continue to scrutinize these changes to evaluate their potential impact on the Estonian economy in the coming months.
