The United Kingdom’s core Producer Price Index (PPI) output growth eased slightly in September 2026, pointing to a modest cooling in underlying producer price pressures. Month-over-month, core PPI output rose by 0.2% in September, down from a 0.3% increase recorded in August 2026.

The data, updated on 21 October 2026, show that while producer prices are still rising, the pace has moderated compared with the previous month. On a month-over-month comparison basis, the “actual” figure for September reflects the change from August, while the “previous” figure for August captures the change from July, highlighting a mild deceleration in core output price growth as the third quarter drew to a close.
