Corrected on 18 January 2010. Revisions to data on rents of office and business premises .The corrections are indicated in red.
Producer prices for services went up by 0.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2009 from the corresponding quarter of the year before. The rise in the prices was particularly caused by increases in the prices of architectural and engineering activities, rents of office and business premises and business and other management consultancy activities. The rise of prices was curbed especially by lower prices of freight transport by road, sea and coastal freight water transport and telecommunications.
From first to second quarter, producer prices for services fell by 0.2 percent.
