Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of rents of dwellings and human health services from one year ago. The price increase was also affected by higher prices of food services and business and management consulting services. The rise in the prices was held back by fallen prices of renting services of construction machinery and equipment, as well as warehousing and storage services, for example.
Producer prices for services for enterprises and the public sector (Business to Business, BtoB) were boosted in particular by higher prices of freight transport by road and business and management consulting services from one year ago. The rise was held back by fallen prices of renting services of machinery and equipment, among other things. Producer prices for services for households (Business to Consumers, BtoC) were, in turn, pushed up particularly by higher prices of rents of dwellings and human health services from one year ago. The rise was held back by, for example, lower prices of renting services of passenger cars.
