Capital costs down due to lower interest

The total cost index for road goods transport fell by 0.3 per cent on average from May to June, despite an increase in diesel prices. Lower capital costs, due to a decrease in real interest rates, is the main cause. In the last 12 months the total costs have increased by 2.6 per cent on average.

The decrease in real interest rates has led the index for capital costs to decrease by 1.9 per cent from May to June. In the last 12 months the capital index has decreased by 2.3 per cent.

Real interest rates are based on the consumer price index and three months' NIBOR-rates from The Central Bank of Norway.

Increase in diesel prices

The fuel index, however, has increased by 0.7 per cent in the last month. In the last 12 months this index, which is based on actual diesel prices on the 15th of each month, has increased by 1.1 per cent.

The other sub-indices show little or no change in the last month.
