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 rents of office and business premises and increased prices of real estate management services. The rise was held back by, among other things, lower prices of management consulting services, cargo handling and advertising services.
From second to third quarter producer prices for services remained on average unchanged.
