Year-on-year producer price growth slowed to 37.3%
In August 2026, industrial producer prices in Ukraine rose by 0.9% compared to July. Annual producer inflation slowed to 37.3% compared to 42.5% in July. This was reported by UAprom citing the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The dynamics of industrial goods costs this year reflect ongoing changes within the manufacturing sector. According to the released data, the 0.9% price increase in August was the result of a combination of various economic factors.
A significant factor influencing the overall index was the rising cost of services and goods in the energy sector. Specifically, the supply of electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning experienced a price increase of 1.2%.
Analysis of the year-on-year metric shows a clear trend toward slowing industrial inflation. Compared to August 2025, the price growth rate was lower than the figures recorded in July of this year, when production price inflation was higher at 42.5%.
The current data reflects the pricing environment in key sectors of the national industry. Government authorities continue to monitor these fluctuations to adjust economic policy and assess the cost of production processes.
