Discontinuation of PIX Sawn Timber Finland export indices

Fastmarkets has discontinued its PIX sawn timber FAS Finland export indices on September 23, 2025.

Fastmarkets understands that these export indices had not been widely adopted by the industry, but received feedback during the consultation, which originally started on May 16, 2025, that there was some commercial use of the indices. The consultation was therefore  extended on July 7 to gather more feedback and to enable any commercial users to adjust their contracts while we investigated the possibility of continuing the indices.

There was no further feedback received by Fastmarkets during the extended consultation period.
