In May 2021, the Producer Price Index (PPI) of local production level stood at a new high (111.6 index points) after registering an increase of 11.9 per cent as compared to the same period last year. The incline was driven by the substantial increase in primary industry products which led to the spike of Mining (68.5%) and Agriculture, forestry & fishing (60.0%) indices. Additionally, the Manufacturing index, which was influenced by the rise in primary and construction-related commodities prices, also showed a significant increase (5.0%). Utility indices comprised of Water supply and Electricity & gas supply also increased by 1.5 per cent and 0.1 per cent respectively.

On a monthly basis, the PPI local production rose 1.0 per cent in May 2021 as compared to 0.8 per cent in the previous month. The increase was supported by the index of Mining (2.1%), followed by Agriculture, forestry & fishing (2.0%), Manufacturing (0.7%), Electricity & gas supply (0.7%) and Water supply (0.1%).
