Methodological notes

Monthly indices of production in services are calculated and published two months after the reference period (М+2) in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council for European Business Statistics.

Production indices in services are calculated by deflating the turnover indices for each activity with the corresponding producer price indices. The purpose of the production index is to measure changes in output volume at monthly intervals. The indices are calculated with 2021 as a base year.

Seasonal adjustment is a statistical method, which eliminates the seasonal component of time series.

Calendar adjustment is an adjustment for variations caused by calendar effects, a different number of calendar and working days in the months, national holidays and outliers (for example, the presence of more non-working days in May could contribute to the decline in some activities).
