Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of software and related services and management consultancy activities during the year. The overall index also rose due to increases in the rents of office and commercial premises and in the prices of postal activities under universal service obligation and architectural and engineering activities. The rise was held back by, among other things, lower prices of telecommunications and sea and coastal freight water transport.

From fourth to first quarter producer prices for services went up by 0.5 per cent.
