Point figures of producer price indices for services are initially published for 13 industries but the number of covered industries will be gradually increased up to the year 2006, when an overall index of producer prices for services will also be published. These initially published producer price indices for services are experimental, which means that the point figures for industries given here may remain subject to revision up to the year 2006 as the used calculation method is being developed or possibly adjusted.
