FX.co ★ Austria’s Producer Prices Fall Further in December, Deepening Annual Decline

Austria’s producer price inflation deteriorated in December 2025, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) falling 1.9% year-over-year, compared with a 1.3% annual decline in November 2025. The latest data, updated on 30 January 2026, signal a continued deflationary trend in prices at the factory gate.

The PPI figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, meaning December’s reading reflects the change in producer prices compared to December a year earlier, while November’s figure compares against the same month of the previous year. The deeper negative reading suggests that cost pressures for Austrian producers continued to ease at the end of 2025, which may support margins for some firms but can also point to softer underlying demand and weaker pricing power across the industrial sector.
