Producer prices for services rose in April to June
According to Statistics Finland, producer prices for services rose by 2.1 per cent in the second quarter of 2006 compared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The rise of prices was principally due to higher prices of freight transport by road, scheduled air transport and computer and related activities from the corresponding quarter of 2005. The rise of prices was curbed most by lower prices of telecommunication.
From the previous quarter, producer prices for services rose by 0.6 per cent. The rise was mainly due to higher prices of freight transport by road and technical consultancy.
