Release of a prototype monthly index of distribution
The release of the prototype monthly Index of Distribution - the first step towards the development of a full monthly Index of Services.
This article, published December 1999, marks the release of the prototype monthly Index of Distribution, which is the first step towards the development of a full monthly Index of Services.
The prototype monthly Index of Distribution will, for now, be published in Economic Trends. The use of additional publication media is to be reviewed after 3-4 months.
The data and methodology underlying the prototype Index of Distribution will be reviewed as part of the Index of Services development programme. This may lead to revisions to the current prototype series.
