Final decision on open consultation on annual methodology review for PIX Forest Biomass Finland Indices

Fastmarkets invited feedback from the industry on the pricing methodology for PIX Forest Biomass Finland price indices via an open consultation process between May 13 and June 10, 2026. This consultation was done as part of our published annual methodology review process.

No feedback was received during the consultation period, and therefore no changes will be made to the methodologies at this stage.

The consultation sought to ensure that our methodologies continue to reflect the physical market under indexation, in compliance with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles for Price Reporting Agencies (PRAs). This includes all elements of our pricing process, our price specifications and publication frequency.
