Indices of Service Production

These statistics consist of a number of monthly volume indices, where indices on turnover are divided by indices on prices. The indices are divided by service industries that follows the definitions in NACE rev. 2. The indices are disseminated both with and without seasonal adjustment.

Data description

The statistics contain monthly indices that show the development of the service industries' volume production. The development in the companies revenue over time may be due to a change in the volume of services sold and / or a change in the price of the same services.

The indices show the development in discounted turnover, by dividing revenue from the statistics Purchases and sales by enterprises with price index from Producer price index for services and from Consumer price index. In this way, it is possible to compare the pure amount of services sold in the service industries over time.
