The rise in producer prices for services was mostly due to increases in the rents of office and business premises and higher prices of goods transport by road compared to the year before. The rise in prices was curbed most by decreases in the prices of telecommunications.
Between the second and third quarters producer prices for services fell by 0.3 per cent, mainly due to lower prices of hotels and postal activities under universal service obligation.
