Internal trade and other services

Internal trade monitors the turnover in retail trade and in wholesale trade by business entities (enterprises, trade enterprises) whose main activity is trading.

Turnover is the total turnover businesses realize from sale in retail and wholesale.

Turnover trade indices measure the turnover in retail and wholesale trade in the form of nominal and real (price adjusted) index numbers, and their change rates rather than absolute (monetary) turnover. Hence, the indicator describes exclusively the development and not the level of turnover.
Service turnover indices belong to the group of main European short-term economic indicators and estimate the average change in turnover between two time periods. Service turnover indices are used to monitor current economic development and for short-term forecasts.
