The rise in producer prices for services was mostly due to higher prices of goods transport by road and increases in the rents of office and business premises compared to the year before. The rise in prices was curbed most by decreases in the prices of telecommunications.
From second to third quarter producer prices for services fell by 0.2 per cent. This was mainly due to lower prices of hotel accommodations.
