|October 31, 2025
SOUTH Africa's producer price inflation (PPI) for final manufactured goods edged slightly higher in September, rising to 2.3% year-on-year from 2.1% in August, according to data released by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) on Thursday.
Economists say the marginal increase is not a sign of inflationary pressure and remains comfortably below the consumer inflation rate.
Stats SA said the PPI eased 0.1% month-on-month, with the main positive contributors to the annual inflation rate being food products, beverages and tobacco, which rose 3.8%.
