According to Statistics Finland, producer prices for services went up by 0.1 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2009 from the corresponding quarter of the year before. The rise in the prices was curbed by, among other things, decreases in the prices of freight transport by road, business consultancy and telecommunications. The rise in prices was mostly due to increases in the rents of office and business premises and risen prices of architectural and engineering activities.

From third to fourth quarter, producer prices for services went up by 1.0 percent.
