A slight decrease in the consumption of goods

The seasonally adjusted volume index of commodity consumption decreased by 0.7 per cent from June to July 2001.

The unadjusted volume index of commodity consumption was 2.0 per cent higher in July this year than in July last year.

Figures for the period December 2000 to June 2001 have been revised. This is due to, among other reasons, a more thorough calculation of the effect from the general VAT rate increase of 23 per cent to 24 per cent on January 1. 2001. On average, the revision of the unadjusted volume index amounts to 1.0 per cent.

The calculation of the index of commodity consumption is based on information from the Index of retail sales. In addition, the index of commodity consumption uses information about purchases of cars and motorcycles, sales of petrol and oil (to petrol stations) and household consumption of electricity.

The index of commodity consumption uses the same definitions and methods of compilation as the Quarterly National Accounts. The index of commodity consumption is thus an indicator of household consumption of goods in the Quarterly National Accounts.
