As a result of falls in the indices for ice cream, wool and carpet thread, polyester and viscose fabrics, sole leather, JP4, "oils, lubricating oils and heavy refined petroleum products", "production of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds", "nylex and plastic bags", "basic iron and steel", copper concentrated, "AC transformer and surge protector", aluminium cable, energy-saver lamp and industrial burners, the manufacturing group index went down 1.9 percent. In this group, the prices for poultry carnage, meat products, unpasteurized butter, dry tea, production of beverages, sanitary paper products, refractory brick, cement, metal can, television and cooler moved up.

1 The transportation and storage group index moved up 3.0 percent, which was mostly due to the advances in the indices for freight transport by truck, air travel fare (Abroad) and warehousing tariff.

The 1.1 percent rise in the group index of accommodation and food service activities was mainly attributed to the increase in the index for inns accommodation costs.

The information and communication group index and the education group index went up 0.2 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively.

Advance in the index for physiotherapy principally caused 1.2 percent increase in the group index for human health and social work activities.
