Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of renting and leasing of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment, software and related services, and management consultancy activities during the year. The increase in the overall index was also affected by higher prices of architectural and engineering activities and higher rents for office and business premises. The rise was held back by, among other things, lower prices of sea, coastal and road freight transport.
From third to fourth quarter producer prices for services went up by 0.4 percent.
