Export and import price indices - June 2017
Annual export price decline influenced by strong koruna
In June 2017, export prices decreased by 1.3%, import prices declined 1.9%, the terms of trade figures reached 100.6%, month-on-month. Export prices dropped 0.4%, import prices advanced 0.5%, the terms of trade reached 99.1%, year-on-year.
Month-on-month comparison:
Exports: export prices fell 1.3% in June (-1.1% in May). The change of the total m-o-m export price index was led mainly by a 1.5% price decrease in ‘machinery and transport equipment’. Prices were falling in ‘mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials’ (-2.9%, especially petroleum products) and also in ‘chemicals and related products’ (-1.8%). There was no price growth reported in any of the observed groups.
Imports: import prices decreased by 1.9% in June following a 1.4% decline in May. The change of the total m-o-m import price index was driven mainly by a 1.7% price drop in ‘machinery and transport equipment’. ‘Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials’ prices dropped 4.8%, another decrease was recorded in ‘manufactured goods classified chiefly by material’ (-1.3%). Prices did not increase in any of the surveyed groups.
The terms of trade increased to the value of 100.6% (100.3% in May).

Negative values of terms of trade were reached mainly in ‘chemicals and related products’ (99.6%).
Year-on-year comparison:
Exports: due to strengthening of koruna against euro and U.S. dollar export prices fell 0.4% (+1.0% increase in May).
