Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of software and related services during the year. The increase in the total index was also affected by higher prices of postal activities under universal service obligation. The rise was held back by, among other things, lower prices of road freight transport, and renting and leasing of construction and civil engineering machinery.
Compared to the fourth quarter of last year, producer prices for services remained unchanged, on average.
