  • PPI rose 5.6% over the past twelve months.
  • Output of building construction (+3.9%), driven by continuing supply constraints for timber and metals, high freight costs and labour shortages.
  • Petroleum refining and petroleum fuel manufacturing (+31.5%) due to a decrease in global crude oil supplies and increased demand in response to easing COVID19 restrictions.
