Producer Price Inflation Rises To 33.5% in May

Producer Price Inflation rate went up by 2.3 percentage points to record 33.5 percent in the fifth month of the year, up from 31.2 percent recorded in April 2022.

The current rate is an indication of the increase in ex-factory prices of goods and services between May 2021 and May 2022 (year-on-year).

The Producer Price Index (PPI) which measures the average change over time in the prices received by domestic producers for the production of their goods and services, rose from 981.3 in April 2022 to 1016.7 in May 2022.

This resulted in a month-on-month change of 3.6 percent in the producer price index between April and May 2022. This was higher than the rate of 1.3 percent recorded between March and April this year.  It is however, lower when compared to the monthly producer inflation rates recorded between February 2022 and March 2022 (6.8%) and that of between January and February 2022 (3.9%).
