ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In September, the prices for the production of the industry recorded a slight increase in the economy and an acceleration of the trend growth. The latter is mainly due to the price trends of energy products, in tendential acceleration due to the statistical effect deriving from the comparison with September 2024, when there are large price reductions of the sector. On the internal market, the prices of intermediate goods return to grow on an annual basis (+0.3%; it was -0.1% in August) while slowing, with different intensity, the tendential growth of the prices of capital goods (+1.0%, from +1.1% in August) and consumer goods (+1.4%, from +2.0% in August).
With regard to buildings, prices record a modest economic decline for buildings and are stable on roads; the acceleration of tendential growth is a basic effect deriving from the comparison with September 2024, when a decrease in prices was found both for buildings, wider, and on roads. It is as it emerges from the Istat survey on the prices to the production of industry and construction.
