Decrease in prices for information and communication services, scientific and technical services, and real estate activities

Prices for scientific and technical services slipped (–0.3%), driven by the seasonal fall in prices for advertising services (–3.1%). The decrease was more important on television, cinema and billboards.
Prices for real estate activities declined slightly (–0.3% following +0.3%), driven down by prices for renting and operating services of own or leased real estate which dipped by 0.3% too.
