Producer prices for services were pushed up particularly by higher prices of support services for transportation together with human health services from one year ago. The price increase was also affected by higher prices of rents of dwellings and food services. The rise in the prices was held back by fallen prices of telecommunications, as well as accommodation services, for example.
