The production Price Index of the manufacturing industries excluding petroleum refinery recorded an increase of 0.2% during January compared to December, according to the High Commission for Planning (HCP).
This increase is the result of a rise in chemical industry prices (0.6%), metallurgy (1%), and textile manufacturing (1.4%), highlights the source in its latest information note on the industrial, energy, and mining production Price Index.
Additionally, it is the result of an increase in beverage manufacturing (1,2%), in the automotive industry (0,4%) and in the manufacturing of metal products excluding machinery and equipment (0,3%), says the HCP.
This rise is also explained by a drop in prices recorded in the food industry, and the paper and cardboard box industry (0,1%) as well as in the manufacturing of rubber and plastic products (0,9%), underlines the same source.
