Seasonally adjusted euro area and EU series are calculated by aggregating seasonally adjusted national data.
The industry as a whole covers Sections B through D of NACE rev.2. Observations from member states in recent months are missing and are therefore used to calculate the euro area and EU aggregates.
Reference period From January 2024 onwards, the base year of the data is from 2018 onwards, the base year was 2015 and changed to 2021. For more information on the reasons and impact of the base year change, please see the related statistical explanation article. .
