The Production Value Index (PVI) describes developments in the private sector production of goods and services each month. Production value is a measure used to calculate the GDP that includes net turnover from industry and service production, and the trade margin (revenue from sales minus costs of retail goods).
The PVI has been produced since the reference month November 2017 and replaces the Business Production Index.
Revisions
When PVI is published for a new month, the indices for previous months are also revised if new information has been added. Usually, the material is revised between two and four months backwards, depending on where in the quarter the reference month is located. In connection with the publication of the first and second month in a quarter, the entire previous quarter is revised. The index series, adjusted for calendar and seasonal effects and trend estimates, are always revised from January 2010 and forward. Information about revisions over a longer historical period and major revisions are published in the Statistical Database (see the link below).
