Data compilation

Indices on Service Production consists of a number of indices calculated as Index on Service Production = Index on observed monthly revenue (from Purchases and Sales by Firms) / Index on monthly Price (from Producer Price Index for Services or Consumer Price Index)

The indices of monthly turnover are from the statistic Purchases and Sales by Firms grouped by the business groups: H49, H50, H51, H52, H53, I55, I56, J58, J59, J60, J61, J62, J63, M69_70.2, M71, M73, M74, N78, N79, N80, N812 ( as an estimate for N81).

For index prices, both the Producer Price Index for Services or Consumer Price Index.

The Producer Price Index for Services contribute with business groups: H494 (an estimate for H49), H501_H502 (an estimate for H50), H51, H5224 (an estimate for H52), H531 and H532 (estimated for H53), J61, J62, J63, M69_70.2, M71, M73, N78, N80, N812 (an estimate for N81). Producer price index is produced quarterly data. We calculate quarterly indices into monthly indices.

The Consumer Price Index contribute with business groups: 11.2.0.1 (an estimate for I55), 11.1.1.1 (an estimate for J56), 09.4 (an estimate for J58), 09.4.2 (an estimate for J59), 09.4.2.3 (an estimate for J60), 09.4.2 (there is an estimate for M74), 09.6 (an estimate for N79)

Subsequently, the Production Index for the service industry is calculated and grouped on NACE rev. 2, 2 digit on the 36th group of the service industries.
