March 14 (Reuters) - The Czech Statistical Bureau released
the following February producer price data (PPI) on Wednesday:
PRODUCER PRICES ...
... FEB 07 JAN 07 FEB 06
Industrial prices
pct change month/month 0.5 1.2 0.2
pct change year/year 3.2 2.8 0.3
Construction prices
pct change month/month 0.2 0.4 0.2
pct change year/year 3.2 3.2 2.4
Agricultural prices
pct change month/month 0.6 2.1 -0.5
pct change year/year 13.0 11.8 -4.7
Services
pct change month/month 0.7 -0.5 1.2
pct change year/year 1.5 2.0 3.9
NOTE. Analysts polled by Reuters had forcast a 0.2 percent
month-on-month increase in February industrial producer prices.
The year-on-year PPI rate was forecast to be up 2.8 percent
.
All 2006 data are subject to further revision.
The bureau said in January that it had revised the weighting
structure from 2005, but that the calculation of industrial
producer and construction prices does not change for that
period.
However, agriculture prices and service prices from January
2005 to December 2006 are no longer directly comparable due to
the change.
