The oil index plunged 10.6 percent annually in December, and the non-oil index decreased slightly by 0.8 percent.

Domestic supply prices were 3.3 percent cheaper in December than a year ago, in contrast to a 2.8 percent rise in the prior month.

On a monthly basis, producer prices fell 1.4 percent in December, after remaining flat in November.

During the year 2025, the overall manufacturing producer price index climbed 3.7 percent compared to a 0.5 percent decline in 2024, the agency said.

Data also showed that the import price index decreased at a faster pace of 3.3 percent annually in December, following a 1.0 percent drop in the previous month. Similarly, the yearly decline in export prices deepened to 4.9 percent from 3.3 percent in November.
