Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of software and related services and postal activities under universal service obligation during the year. The increase in the total index was also affected by higher prices of renting and leasing of construction and civil engineering machinery and higher rents for office and business premises. The rise was held back by, among other things, lower prices of management consulting services, cargo handling and sea and coastal freight water transport.
From first to second quarter producer prices for services went up by 0.1 percent.
