Italy’s Producer Price Index (PPI) posted a strong rebound in July 2026, rising 2.4% month-on-month after remaining flat in June, according to data updated on 2 September 2026.
The latest reading marks a notable acceleration from June 2026, when producer prices registered 0.0% growth compared with the previous month. On a month-over-month basis, the July increase indicates growing price pressures at the factory gate, suggesting that input costs for businesses are now moving higher after a period of stability.
The comparison is based on changes from one month to the previous one: the current “actual” figure reflects the change in July relative to June, while the “previous” figure captures the change in June relative to May. The shift from zero growth to a 2.4% gain will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers for potential implications for inflation dynamics in Italy.
