Unchanged transport costs
The cost index for road goods transport remained unchanged from August 2007 to September 2007. Over the last 12 months, total costs have increased by 4.0 per cent.
The fuel index increased by 0.5 per cent in September. From September 2006 to September 2007, this sub-index has decreased by 0.8 per cent.
Lower capital costs
The index for capital costs decreased by 0.4 per cent in September, mainly due to a decrease in real interest rates. During the last twelve months, this index, which consists of depreciation and amortization, interest costs and an annual fee, has increased by 9.7 per cent.
The real interest rates are based on the consumer price index and three-month NIBOR rates from Norges Bank, and may therefore deviate somewhat from the average interest offered by Norwegian banks.
The other sub-indices show no or very few changes over the last month.
