Industrial producer price index of paper and paper products in Italy 2019-2023
The industrial producer price index (PPI) of paper and paper products manufactured in Italy was 128 in December 2023. This value hit a record high in October 2022 when it reached 143.7. It was still around 30 points above pre-pandemic levels at the end of 2023. The reason for the rise in paper prices is a paper shortage due to supply chain difficulties after the COVID pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
