FX.co ★ Latvia’s Producer Prices Accelerate in May, Signalling Rising Cost Pressures

Latvia’s producer price inflation gathered pace in May 2026, with the month‑over‑month Producer Price Index (PPI) rising to 0.9%, up from 0.6% in April 2026. The data, updated on 19 June 2026, indicate a pickup in cost pressures at the factory gate level, potentially foreshadowing higher prices further along the supply chain.

On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest reading shows that May’s increase in producer prices was stronger than the price momentum seen in April, when the index had risen 0.6% from the previous month. The comparison underscores a quickening in short‑term producer price dynamics, an important signal for businesses and policymakers tracking underlying inflationary trends in Latvia.
