Producer prices for services went up in October-December
According to Statistics Finland, producer prices for services went up by 2.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2006 from the corresponding quarter of the year before. The rise in the prices was mostly due to increases in the prices of goods transport by road, technical consultancy and rents of office and business premises from the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The rise in the prices was curbed most by falls in the prices of telecommunication.
From the previous quarter, producer prices for services rose by 0.8 per cent. This was mainly due to higher prices of rents of office and business premises and hotel services.
