The sub-indices for labour costs, diesel costs, administrative costs and maintenance costs increased simultaneously during the 1st quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter last year. Although an increase in all sub-indices contributes positively to the total index, the sub-index for labour cost contributed the most due to its higher weight share. The sub-index for labour costs has a weight share of 55.8 per cent.

The index of capital costs decreased by 11.2 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2013. The decline is attributable to lower interest rates.
