SERVICES STATISTICS--SHORT-TERM INDICATORS [26 November 2014]
Data from October 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database. Planned article update: July 2015.
This article examines recent statistics in relation to developments for service activities in the European Union (EU). Short-term business statistics (STS) are provided in the form of indices that allow the rapid assessment of the economic climate within services, providing a first assessment of recent developments for a range of activities.
Traditionally, short-term business statistics were concentrated on industrial and construction activities, and to a lesser extent retail trade. Since the middle of the 1990s, major developments in official statistics within the EU have seen short-term data collection efforts focus increasingly on services.
