Continued increase in transport costs
The total cost index for road goods transport increased by 1.2 per cent from July 2007 to August 2007. Over the last 12 months, the total costs have increased by 3.8 per cent.
During last month, the index for capital costs increased by 1.1 per cent, mainly due to increase in the real interests rates. In the last 12 months this index, which is composed by depreciation, amortization, interest costs and annual fee, has increased by 8.0 per cent.
The real interest rates are based on the consumer price index and the three month's NIBOR-rates from the Central Bank of Norway, and may therefore deviate somewhat from the average interest offered by Norwegian banks.
The fuel index has increased by 0.6 per cent for the last month. From August 2006 to August 2007 this sub-index has decreased by 0.4 per cent.
The other sub-indices show no or little changes over the last month.
