The Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador (BCR), through the Oficina Nacional de Estadística y Censos (ONEC), reported that annual producer inflation in december 2024 was 2.46% compared to the same month of 2023. In addition, the General Producer Price Index (IPP) closed the year with 134.36 points, registering a slight decrease of -0.39% compared to november of the same year.
At the level of productive sectors, a varied behavior was observed in the variation of prices. While most of the activities registered increases, the transportation and storage sector was the only one that presented a reduction in its prices, with a -2.55% drop in annual terms.
Among the sectors that reported increases were real estate activities, which experienced an increase of 11.53%, followed by electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply with 5.36% and accommodation with 5.61%. Increases were also recorded in manufacturing (1.19%), education (2.76%) and telecommunications (3.13%).
These data reflect the cost trends in the different productive sectors of the country, influencing the national economy and the price structure for consumers and companies. Producer inflation is a key indicator to understand economic dynamics and forecast its impact on consumer prices in the coming months.
The Banco Central de Reserva will continue to monitor these indicators to provide accurate information on the evolution of prices and their effects on the salvadoran economy.
