Increased repair and service costs
Between June and July 2002 the total cost index for road goods transport has increased by 0.3 per cent, mainly due to increased repair and service costs and increased interest rates. Over the last 12 months, the total cost index has increased by 2.1 per cent.
The sub-index for repair and service costs increased by 0.7 per cent in the last month. Between July 2001 and July 2002 this index has increased by 4.8 per cent.
Increase in capital costs
The index for capital costs increased by 0.7 per cent last month, mainly due to increased interest rates. Over the last 12 months this index has decreased by 1.1 per cent.
Increase in fuel index
The fuel index increased by 0,3 per cent the last month. In the last 12 months this index has increased by 6.2 per cent.
Increase in administration costs
The administration cost index increased by 0.2 per cent between June and July. Between July 2001 and July 2002, this index has increased by 4.7 per cent.
For this reason the total cost index for road goods transport did not move last month, although both the sub-index for repair and service costs and the sub-index for capital costs increased.
The other sub-indices showed little or no change the last month.
