Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of postal activities under universal service obligation and of renting and leasing of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment from one year ago. The increase in the total index was also affected by higher prices of software and related services and higher rents for office and business premises. The rise in the prices was held back by fallen prices of telecommunications and cargo handling, for example.

From fourth to first quarter producer prices for services went up by 0.6 percent.
