Definitions and explanations

Production Value Index (PVI) describes the developments of private sector production of goods and services each month. It is a development of the older Business Production Index, and will replace this index from the publication in November 2017, reference period September 2017. The advantage of the new index compared to previous production indices are that it measures all production in the private sector as opposed to measuring goods production in industry and services production in the service sector, and that the results are published slightly earlier each month.

Production value is a measure used to calculate the GDP, and is made up of net turnover from industry and service production, as well as trade margin (revenue from sales minus costs of retail goods).

This statistical news item replaces the previous statistical news for Industry Production Index, Index of Service Production and Business Production Index.
