Changes during the last quarter

The quarterly rate of change was positive on the domestic and export markets, but negative on the import market in the third quarter. This resulted in a positive quarterly rate of change for both Services Producer Price Index and Price Index for Domestic Supply during the same period.

The main downward contribution on the domestic market came from lower prices on support services for transportation. This downturn was somewhat offset by higher prices on air transport services and rental and operating services of own or leased real estate.

On the export market the main contribution came from higher prices on telecommunications services. Prices also rose within freight transport services by road and removal services as well as sea and coastal freight water transport services. This upturn was somewhat offset by lower prices on air transport services, support services for transportation, software publishing services, computer programming, consultancy and related services as well as management consulting services.

The main contribution to the decrease on the import market came from lower prices on advertising services. Prices also fell within telecommunications services as well as accounting, bookkeeping and auditing services, tax consulting services. This downturn was somewhat offset by higher prices on computer programming, consultancy and related services as well as several other different services.
