Short-term business statistics - dissemination

 

Dissemination tools and dedicated section

European short-term business statistics mostly are disseminated on-line, paper publications have become the exception. Currently there are no more paper publications exclusively dedicated to STS data. However, the print publication Key figures on European business contains, among data from many other areas, some selected STS data.

For STS, the main publications are described in this article. All short-term statistics related information – data, reference metadata, publications, methodological information, legal texts, etc. – is available at the on the Eurostat website.

News releases

In the area of short-term business statistics, Eurostat publishes 60 news releases per year, i.e. a monthly release for the five central STS indicators: industrial production, industrial producer prices, production in construction, services production, and volume of retail trade. These STS indicators are also part of the Principal European economic indicators (PEEIs) which are used for the monitoring of the economic and financial development of the Euro area.

The publication of the news releases is announced in advance in Eurostat's release calendar and in the STS release calendar. News releases are issued at 11:00 CET on the Eurostat website and they are free of charge. The news releases provide the most recent data for the EU and the euro area as well as for the Member States. Apart from the headline figure a breakdown to sub-aggregates is provided). The data are published as indices and as month-on-month (comparison with the month before) and year-on-year (comparison with the same month of the last year) growth rates. The month-on-month growth rates are based on indices which are seasonally as well as calendar adjusted. The year-on-year growth rates are based on the calendar adjusted indices. This practice follows the guidelines of the European Statistical System on seasonal adjustment since for the year-on-year comparison seasonal factors should not be relevant.

Eurostat online database

All STS indicators are published in the Eurostat online database. The extraction modes give users the possibility to download data according to their specific needs as regards indicator, countries and EU aggregates, format (unadjusted, calendar adjusted, calendar and seasonally adjusted), length of time series, activity breakdown etc. All data are provided in the form of indices and in the form of growth rates, as monthly data, quarterly, and annual data. Access to all data is free of charge.
