ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
	Title	ICP - Indices of Consumer prices
	Data source	European Commission (Eurostat) and European Central Bank calculations based on Eurostat data
	Contact email address	Statistical Information Request form

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
	Dataset last update in SDW	2021-10-07 22:00:01
	Catalog	Download the series catalogue of the dataset ICP in CSV format, i.e. full list of series and associated metadata: Excel 2013 (zipped) or the earlier Excel versions.

LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT
	Legal acts and other agreements	Council Regulation (EC) No 2494/95 on HICPs and implementation regulations;

SCOPE
	Data presentation - Summary description	The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the euro area is published by the European Commission (Eurostat) and generally available from 1996 onwards. Euro area results are obtained by aggregating indices for individual countries. The HICP is broken down following the European classification of individual consumption according to purpose (ECOICOP) and by goods and services special aggregates derived from it. The HICP covers monetary expenditure on final consumption by resident and non-resident households on the economic territory of the euro area. The seasonally adjusted HICP data are compiled by the ECB.
	Data presentation - Detailed description	HICPs measure changes in prices of goods and services covered by final household monetary consumption expenditure, including all indirect taxes paid by consumers. HICPs have a common coverage of goods and services across countries but country specific item lists and item weights. HICPs do not cover expenditure for owner occupied housing. For items fully or partly paid or refunded by the government, HICPs include only the share that is paid by the consumer (e.g. the "out-of-the-pocket" expenditure for health services). The HICPs are classified according to the ECOICOP. Additional compiled aggregates are also published.

ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
	Title	MNA - National accounts, GDP and Main aggregates (Eurostat ESA2010 TP, table 1)
	Data source	Eurostat
	Contact email address	Statistical Information Request form
	Contact organisation	European Central Bank

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
	Dataset last update in SDW	2021-10-07 18:38:26
	FAME database shortcut	$ESA2010
	Catalog	Download the series catalogue of the dataset MNA in CSV format, i.e. full list of series and associated metadata: Excel 2013 (zipped) or the earlier Excel versions.
	Dataset content change	New price reference year (2015=100) for the volume series in the MNA dataset as of 04/10/2019. Note that the attribute REF_YEAR_PRICE has changed from "2010" to "2015". There is no change in the series keys (MNA.?.LR.?), however the level of the volume series will change due to the new reference year. This change follows the benchmark revision in national accounts in 2019 coordinated by Eurostat in line with the Harmonised European Revision Policy (HERP).

LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT
	Legal acts and other agreements	Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on the European system of national and regional accounts in the European Union (link)

SCOPE
	Data presentation - Summary description	The Main aggregates in the national accounts (MNA dataset) include gross domestic product (GDP), value added by main economic activity, main expenditure components and aggregated income statistics. These data are collected and disseminated by the European Commission (Eurostat) and the national statistical authorities. The MNA dataset also includes additional indicators calculated by the ECB such as implicit GDP deflators, contributions to growth, unit labour costs and its components (compensation per employee and labour productivity), as well as business investment. Data for the euro area / EU and the European countries are available.
	Data presentation - Detailed description	Gross domestic product (GDP) and its components - value added by economic activity, expenditure and income statistics - are part of the ESA 2010 annual and quarterly national accounts produced by the European Commission (Eurostat) and national statistical authorities. Euro area results are estimated using information for the individual countries. GDP is the value of an economy’s total output of goods and services less intermediate consumption, plus net taxes on products and imports. GDP can be also broken down by expenditure or income components. The main expenditure aggregates that make up GDP are household final consumption, government final consumption, gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, and imports and exports of goods and services (including intra-euro area trade) while the income components include gross operating surplus and mixed income, compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports, and subsidies. The GDP deflators and unit labour costs and its components (compensation per employee and labour productivity) are calculated by the ECB based on the ESA 2010 national accounts data. The GDP deflators are the ratios of the series in current prices and volume series, where the current price series for the countries are adjusted for national exchange rate movements before joining the euro area. Unit labour costs are a measure of total labour costs per unit of output calculated as the ratio of compensation per employee to labour productivity (defined as GDP per person employed). Labour productivity reflects the output that can be produced with a given input of labour. It can be measured in several ways, but is commonly measured as GDP divided by either total employment (by people in employment, i.e. including both employees and self-employed) or total hours worked. The headline ECB measure calculates labour productivity as GDP divided by persons in employment. Compensation per employee is the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, that is payable by employers to employees in return for work, i.e. gross wages and salaries, as well as bonuses, overtime payments and employers’ social security contributions, divided by the total number of employees. For more information refer to ESA2010 manual and ESA2010 Transmission Program (Table 1).

RESC - Commercial Property Prices



ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
	Title	RESC - Real Estate Statistics - Commercial Property
	Data source	Mainly commercial data sources, supplemented where appropriate with other national sources.
	Contact email address	Statistical Information Request form

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
	Dataset last update in SDW	2021-09-29 10:49:03
	Catalog	Download the series catalogue of the dataset RESC in CSV format, i.e. full list of series and associated metadata: Excel 2013 (zipped) or the earlier Excel versions.
	Dataset content change	Please note that the data published under the Commercial property prices (CPP) dataset has been migrated to the Real Estate Statistics – Commercial property (RESC) dataset, which is part of the newly created Real Estate Statistics key family (RES). This change will allow us to publish additional indicators as well as regional breakdowns.

SCOPE
	Data presentation - Summary description	Available headline data are generally compiled from commercial data supplied by MSCI (www.msci.com). For the experimental European aggregates, when a country prefers a different source these data are included replacing that reported by MSCI and using the appropriate code. The data are heterogeneous in terms of the transaction or valuation based methodologies used. Therefore, comparisons between countries or of different sources within individual countries should be made with caution. The indicators are generally available at quarterly frequency. Breakdowns of the data are also available but these are strictly shown by the type of data collection i.e. transaction based or valuation based.

METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
	Source data type	Mainly commercial data sources, supplemented where appropriate with other national sources. Source of weights: National accounts for ECB estimates; MSCI internal estimates of stock of properties for MSCI data.
	Time period	Quarterly
	Statistical concepts and definitions	For information about the naming convention (series key dimensions and metadata), refer to the RESC underlying DSD (ECB_RES1) maintained by the ECB.

STATISTICAL PROCESSING
	Data compilation	European aggregates are compiled by MSCI as simple sums of the value based data expressed in euro (converted using quarter average exchange rates if required). Nature of weights: ECB estimates: GDP shares, MSCI: stock of properties. Period of current index weights: ECB: 2012; MSCI 2011.
	Adjustment	Data non seasonally adjusted
	Data revision - practice	Frequency of weight update: yearly.

QUALITY
	Timeliness	The timeliness and frequency of the available data differs considerably. Euro area estimates will be released by the ECB at 65 days after the end of the reference quarter.

STS - Short-Term Statistics



ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
	Title	STS - Short-Term Statistics
	Data source	European Commission (Eurostat) and European Central Bank calculations based on Eurostat and ACEA (the European Automobile Manufacturers Association) data
	Contact email address	Statistical Information Request form

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
	Dataset last update in SDW	2021-10-08 15:01:28
	Catalog	Download the series catalogue of the dataset STS in CSV format, i.e. full list of series and associated metadata: Excel 2013 (zipped) or the earlier Excel versions.

SCOPE
	Data presentation - Summary description	Industrial producer prices, industrial production, industrial new orders, industrial turnover and retail sales data are published by the European Commission (Eurostat). Euro area results are obtained by aggregating data for individual countries compiled by national statistical authorities. They are broken down following the classification of economic activities in the EU (NACE) and by the Main Industrial Groupings (MIGS) derived from it. Industrial producer prices reflect the ex-factory-gate prices (transportation costs are not included) of all products sold by industry excluding construction on the domestic markets of the euro area countries, excluding imports. They include indirect taxes except VAT and other deductible taxes. Industrial production reflects the volume growth of value added of the industries concerned. Industrial new orders measure the orders received during the reference period and cover industries working mainly on the basis of orders – in particular textile, pulp and paper, chemical, metal, capital goods and durable consumer goods industries. The data are calculated on the basis of current prices. Indices for turnover in industry and for the retail trade measure the turnover, including all duties and taxes with the exception of VAT, invoiced during the reference period. Retail trade turnover covers all retail trade excluding sales of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and except repairs. Unemployment rates published by the European Commission (Eurostat) and conform to International Labour Organisation (ILO) guidelines. They refer to persons actively seeking work as a share of the labour force, using harmonised criteria and definitions. Please note that since December 2020 the dataset is published under the Labour Force Survey Indicators (LFSI) naming convention. Please refer to the mapping between discontinued STS series and the LFSI codes for more information. The labour cost indices are published by the European Commission (Eurostat) and national statistical authorities and measure the changes in labour costs per hour worked in industry (including construction) and market services. A breakdown of hourly labour costs for the euro area is available by labour cost component (wages and salaries, other labour costs) and by economic activity (NACE sections). The new passenger cars data for euro area are seasonally and working day adjusted by the ECB based on data compiled by ACEA (the European Automobile Manufacturers Association). New passenger car registrations cover registrations of both private and commercial passenger cars.
