Industry prices rose sharply on an annual basis

The pace of price rises was mainly driven by rising commodity and energy prices and wages, the report said.

The rise in domestic prices moderated after a sharp rise of 4.5 percent in January, while export prices rose from a fall of 1.4 percent in January. (MTI)
