Estonia’s producer price index (PPI) inflation slowed slightly in July 2026, with the year-over-year rate easing to 3.6%, down from 3.8% in June 2026. The data, updated on 21 August 2026, show a modest cooling in price pressures at the factory gate level.

Both the current and previous readings reflect annual changes — comparing each month to the same month a year earlier. The June figure captured the year-over-year change for June, while the July data represent the change versus July of the prior year. The marginal decline in the PPI growth rate suggests some stabilization in production costs, which can feed through to broader inflation trends and corporate margins in the Estonian economy.

For market participants and policymakers, the shift from 3.8% to 3.6% year-over-year PPI growth will be watched as a signal of whether producer-side inflation is gradually normalizing or merely pausing before further volatility in the months ahead.
