Information about the change
The statistics are renewed in connection with the publication of data for 2024, when the reference period, the base year, is updated from 2015 to 2021. The new base year is defined in Regulation (No 2019/2152) of the European Parliament and of the Council on European business statistics and it concerns short-term business statistics of all Member States. In future, database tables published with the old base year (2015=100) will no longer be updated.
Changing the base year and the changes made in connection with it have an effect on several statistics on short-term business trends published by Statistics Finland. Further information about the renewal can be found in a joint release.
In the same connection, the industry-specific value added weights and stratum-specific gross value weights are changed to correspond to the situation in 2022. Seasonal adjustment models are also updated. These updates also cause changes to the data of earlier months and years.
