IES including ServicesExperimental calculations IES = a*ICI + b*BCI +c*RCI +d*SCI + e*CCI a, b, c, d, e = weights ICI = 40 % Confidence Indicator in Industry BCI = 5 % CI in Construction RCI = 5 % CI in Retail trade SCI = 30 % CI in Services CCI = 20 % Consumer CI
Conclusions • currently, results of calculations by previous methodology are officially released • services are not included into composite Indicator of Economic Sentiment • in this practice we will still continue in 2006 as well • simultaneously we will calculate experimentally index by new methodology under providing of following measures
The next measures • to analyze of sample and weighted system in calculation of Confidence Indicator in Services • to lengthen time series of CI in Services by retrospective re-calculations (econometric models) • after these steps to realize retrospective re-calculations of time series of IES • to continue on calculations of IES by new methodology • to inform economic public area on changes in calculations • to release methodology of a new way in calculation together with first publication
