Producer prices for the domestic market also went down by 3.4 per cent, the National Statistics Office said in a report yesterday.

Despite the decreases, the producer price index for total industry in September rose by 0.46 per cent as a result of an increase in the price of intermediate goods and capital goods. These rose by 1.24 per cent and 0.39 percent.

The statistics office said that in September the prices for consumer goods decreased by 0.43 per cent while energy prices remained the same.
