Doha, Qatar – The industrial producer price index (PPI) in Qatar recorded a notable decline during October 2025. It decreased by 3.64% compared to the previous month (September 2025), registering 100.7 points.
Data from the Producer Price Index released by the National Planning Council showed that the decline was even deeper year-on-year, with the index falling by 10.6% compared to the same month in 2024.
The data indicated that the mining and quarrying sector experienced a 4.6% month-on-month decline. This was due to a roughly equal drop in prices for crude oil and natural gas extraction.
On the other hand, the manufacturing sector rose by 0.59% during the same month compared to September 2025. This was driven by price increases in four major groups, led by the food products industry, which recorded a 3.93% increase.
The data also showed a continued rise in electricity supply prices by 3.6%. Water supply prices also increased by 2.28% month-on-month for the third consecutive month. This reflects the impact of changes in energy and utility costs on Qatar’s industrial producer price index.
