KSH: producer prices rose by 4.3 percent in March

Compared to the previous month, producer prices rose by 0.5 percent, mainly due to a 1.5 percent rise in export prices, after falling by 1.3 percent domestically.

The pace of price increases was influenced by changes in the forint exchange rate and changes in the prices of raw materials and commodities. In the field of the energy industry and the decline in oil prices, the effects of the changed economic processes due to the coronavirus pandemic were already felt, the KSH added in its report. (MTI)
