Short-term business indicators

These include indicators for the industrial, construction, retail trade and other service industries. The majority of the indicators are available on a monthly or quarterly basis.

EU Member States transmit national data to Eurostat (according to specific timeliness requirements); euro area/EU aggregates are calculated as weighted averages of national series if at least 60% of the coverage is achieved.

In addition to indicators for industries as a whole, breakdowns by industrial activity are also available. These follow the NACE Rev. 2 classification (divisions, groups and classes) or are broken down by main industrial groupings (MIGs).
