The service producer price index (SPPI) covers the entire country and is comparable with other European Union countries. | |
The service producer price indices (SPPI) are comparable over time. The indices can be chain-linked to make comparisons over time. | |
There are no direct benchmark figures to check cross domain coherence. | |
The internal consistency of the data is ensured by the use of a common methodology for data collection and data aggregation. The sub-indices are coherent with the total index. |

Data are collected and the submission of questionnaires is monitored through eSTAT (the web channel for electronic data submission). The questionnaires have been designed for independent completion in eSTAT and include instructions and controls. The questionnaires and information about data submission are available on the website of Statistics Estonia in the section Questionnaires. Data are collected with the statistical questionnaires “Prices of legal services”, “Prices of accounting, bookkeeping and auditing services”, “Prices of maintenance services for buildings and landscapes”, “Prices of courier and other postal activities”, “Prices of telecommunications services”, “Prices of water transport services”, “Prices of security services”, “Prices of warehousing and support activities for transportation”, “Prices of employment activities”, “Prices of postal services”, “Prices of architectural and engineering services”, “Prices of land transport services” and “Price of information technology and information supply services”.

On the bases of collected data Laspeyres-type price indices are calculated. Microdata are aggregated to the required level. Since 2006 Statistics Estonia updates the weights system of the service producer price index of activities and base prices for calculation every year. In the current year (t) the base prices for the calculation of the index were the prices of the last year (t-1) December. The weights system corresponds to the service sales revenue of enterprises in the year t-2. The service producer price index of activities is published quarterly. The annual index has been calculated as the average of four quarters. | |
