Lithuania’s producer price index (PPI) continued to decline at the start of 2026, signaling persistent deflationary pressure in the country’s industrial sector. In January 2026, PPI fell 3.90% year-over-year, compared with a 3.00% year-over-year drop recorded in December 2025.
The January reading, updated on 12 February 2026, shows that the pace of producer price declines has accelerated on an annual basis. Both the current and previous figures are measured as year-over-year changes, comparing each month’s prices to the same month a year earlier. The deeper negative reading suggests that input and output prices for Lithuanian producers remain under strain, a development that could influence corporate margins, investment decisions, and, eventually, consumer price dynamics.
