  • The Development of Price Indices for Professional Business Services - Cargo Handling and Storage and Warehousing, Quarter 1 2013 24-May-2013
    The Services Producer Price Index (SPPI) are primarily a suite of individual price indices that provide information on price change for a limited range of service industries. Each SPPI captures quarterly changes in the price received for services provided by GB businesses to other UK businesses and Government. These individual price indices are also aggregated together to create a 'service industry' SPPI with limited coverage.
  • Index of Services, March 2013 23-May-2013
    Index of Services shows the monthly movements in gross value added for the service industries, which overall account for around 77% of UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

  • Public Sector Finances, April 2013 22-May-2013

These key indicators are provided on two bases. One set includes the temporary effects of financial interventions made in response to the financial crisis that began in 2007, such as the establishment of public ownership/control of several major banking groups. An alternative set of indicators, the so-called ‘ex-measures’, excludes the temporary effects of financial interventions.
