The overall index of producer and import prices rose in October 2016 from the previous month by 0.1 percent, reaching 99.8 points (base December 2015 = 100). While the producer price index fell by 0.1 percent, the import price index increased by 0.3 percent. The slight increase in the total amount is mainly due to higher prices of petroleum products. Compared to October 2015, the price level of the whole range of domestic and imported products fell by 0.2 percent. This is evident from the figures of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
