Development was strongest in construction of buildings, where growth amounted 13.1 per cent from the corresponding period last year. The turnover of specialised construction activities also grew 6.6 per cent. Turnover decreased in civil engineering by 2.1 per cent.

The sales volume of construction enterprises grew by 9.3 per cent in construction of buildings and by 3.0 in specialised construction activities in August to October. The sales volume of civil engineering decreased by 4.1 per cent.

The volume index of enterprises’ sales is calculated by removing the effect of price changes from the turnover index series.

Industries of enterprises have been revised in the data released in January

Starting from this statistical release the latest industries defined by the Business Register have been taken into use in the turnover and wage and salary indices. The industry corrections are visible as revised data in some of the published industries for the years 2016-2017. The effects of the changes are taken into consideration in statistics production so that no breaks occur in the time series of the published index series. The interpretation of the statistics also remains unchanged in the renewal. Revisions to annual changes in industries are presented under Revisions in these statistics.
