The Internal Wholesale Price Index (IPIM) showed a 1.5% increase in January 2025, reaching its highest level in the last four months, according to data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec).
The rise in the index was driven by a 1.6% increase in domestic products and a 0.5% increase in imported products. Among domestic products, the categories that most influenced the IPIM were crude oil and gas (+0.35%), chemical substances and products (+0.29%), food and beverages (+0.16%), refined petroleum products (+0.15%), and agricultural products (+0.11%).
On the other hand, the Basic Wholesale Price Index (IPIB), which excludes taxes, also recorded a 1.6% increase in January, with a 1.7% rise in domestic products and a 0.4% rise in imported products.
Additionally, the Producer Basic Price Index (IPP) experienced a 1.8% increase, with a 2.7% rise in primary products and a 1.4% increase in manufactured products and electricity.
These data reflect that the wholesale market continues to rise, demonstrating the impact of costs on the production chain.
