Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of business and management consulting services and postal activities under universal service obligation from one year ago. The increase in the total index was also affected by higher prices of freight transport by road, as well as computer programming and related services. The rise was held back by lower prices of, for example, cargo handling and private security activities.

Compared to the third quarter, producer prices for services went up by 0.3 per cent.
