2nd Quarter 2009

Highlights

1. The Producer Price Index, which stood at 170.7 in March 2009 decreased by 2.9% to reach 165.7 in June 2009. The index receded by 2.0% in April, 0.8% in May and remained unchanged in June 2009.

2. The 2.0% decrease in the overall index in April was mainly due to decreases in the sub-indices of “Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco” (-0.2%), “Manufacture of basic metals” (-32.1%) and “Manufacture of rubber and plastic products” (-0.8%). The decrease in the sub-index of “Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco”, which accounts for nearly 50% of the overall weight, was mainly due to price decreases in the “Production, processing and preservation of meat and meat products” (-2.9%), “Manufacture of macaroni, noodles and similar products” (-1.4%) and “Manufacture of other food products” (-0.1%).

3. In May, the overall index declined by 0.8% mainly due to decreases in the sub-indices of “Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco” (-1.7%).

4. The index remained unchanged in June. The decrease in “Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco “(-0.2%) was offset by increases in “Manufacture of wearing apparel” (+2.5%), “Manufacture of rubber and plastic products” (+0.4%) and “Manufacture of textiles” (+0.9%).

5. The overall index fell by 3.0% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to decreases in the sub-indices of “Manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco” (-2.1%), “Manufacture of basic metals” (-32.1%) and
“Manufacture of furniture, and manufacturing n.e.c” (-0.1%).

6. Compared to the corresponding quarter of 2008, the overall index for the second quarter of 2009 went up by 0.4%. This was largely due to increases in the sub-indices of “Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products” (+4.9%), “Manufacture of other non metallic mineral products” (+11.5%), “Publishing, printing and reproduction of recorded media” (+3.7%), “Manufacture of fabricated metal products” (+5.7%), “Manufacture of furniture, and manufacturing n.e.c” (+0.8%), “Manufacture of paper and paper products” (+8.2%) and “Manufacture of Textiles” (+5.1%).
