Business services (monitor from the 1st quarter of 2012 on)
Changes as of 31 May 2013
From the first quarter of 2013 on, the figures of Business services will be publiced in a new table 'Business services; turnover developments, index 2010 = 100'. This table replaces the table 'Business services; turnover developments, SIC 2008'. Figures in the new table differ from those in the former table up to and including 2012, as a result of the index base year shift from 2005 to 2010.
From the first quarter of 2012 on, Statistics Netherlands will base the Business services monitor on the ‘M-N Business services’ and no longer on ‘IT and other business services’.
Difference
The ‘IT- services’ (SBI 62) is not included in the ‘M-N Business services’ combination. This means that the turnover changes of the combined ‘M-N Business services’ are not comparable with those of the ‘IT and other business services’ on which the Business services monitor was based until the first quarter of 2012.
