Greece's Producer's Price Index in the industrial sector (measuring both the domestic and external markets) grew 8.5 percent in February this year, compared with the same month in 2010, after recording a 6.7 percent increase in February 2010, Hellenic Statistical Authority said on Tuesday.
The statistics service, in a report, attributed this development -which means higher inflationary pressures in the coming months if higher production costs were rolled over to consumption- to an 8.0 percent increase in the domestic market index and a 10.5 percent rise in the external market index.
The producer's price index was up 1.4 percent in February from January 2011.
