Short-term statistics (STS) describe the most recent developments of European economies. STS cover four major economic domains: industry, construction, trade and services (for example transport, information and communication, business services but not financial services). In the field of STS, the development in the different economic domains is described with a series of indicators (STS indicators) such as production, turnover, prices, number of persons employed, gross wages and several more. STS indicators are published as indices which show the changes of the indicator in comparison with a fixed reference year. The indicators do not represent absolute amounts or monetary values. STS indicators do not only cover the single Member States of the European Union but also provide aggregate data for the EU, the euro area and data for EFTA and candidate countries. |
