KIEV, April 11 – Industrial prices in Ukraine, following a 1.1% decrease in January and a February increase of 1.5%, jumped 4% in March (the highest rise since April 2015), due to the rise in prices for oil and petroleum products, as well as metal ore and electricity.

According to the State Statistics Service, despite this, in annual terms (compared to the same period of 2015) the growth of wholesale prices in March slowed to 10.5%, the lowest level since June 2014 compared to 17.4% in February and 21.2% in January.
