Eurostat

Eurostat data show domestic producer prices in the European Union rose 1.4% in July 2026. The increase points to continued cost pressures at factory and wholesale level, a key early indicator for consumer inflation across the bloc. Economists and policymakers will be watching whether the rise feeds through to retail prices or reflects temporary energy and input cost movements.

Eurostat data shows the EU-27 construction producer price index rose to 124.2 in 2025, indicating continued cost increases for building materials and construction services across the bloc. The figures point to ongoing price pressure in the sector, which affects housing costs, infrastructure projects and wider inflation trends. Analysts and industry watchers are reviewing the data for signs of easing or persistence.

Eurostat figures show the construction producer price index for the EU-27 stood at 128.6 in the second quarter of 2026. The release, accompanied by news coverage and statistical analysis, is being tracked as a gauge of building cost pressures across the bloc.

Eurostat's quarterly industrial production index for the EU stands at 100.4 in the first quarter of 2026, easing slightly to 100.2 in the second quarter, according to newly released statistics. The marginal dip suggests industrial output in the bloc is roughly flat, prompting analysts to weigh whether the sector is stabilising or heading into renewed weakness amid ongoing concerns about European manufacturing competitiveness.
