PIF continues its upward trend
The price index of first-hand domestic sales (PIF) went up 1.4 per cent from April to May. This was the third month in a row that prices rose and the largest rise since February 2015. It was mainly higher prices on petroleum, petroleum products and fish that contributed to the overall increase. Prices on fish have gone up 23 per cent since May last year and have never been on a higher level. The overall increase in PIF came mainly on the domestic market where the mentioned product groups are considerably more represented than on the import market.
