Overview
What happened Source facts
The selling prices in wholesale trade were 8.7% higher in September 2026 than in September 2025. Compared with the same month a year earlier, the rate of change was +6.8% in August 2026, and +5.3% in July 2026. A higher price increase than that in September 2026 was last recorded in February 2023 (+9.5% on February 2022). The price increase registered in September 2026 was still attributable to the conflict in Iran and the Middle East, which resulted in higher wholesale prices of energy products and intermediate goods such as metals, in particular.
