Increase in the consumption of goods

The seasonally adjusted volume index of commodity consumption increased by 0.8 per cent from February to March.

The unadjusted volume index of commodity consumption was 1.2 per cent lower in March this year than in March last year.

The next release of the index of commodity consumption will be adjourned by one week till week no 25. This is due to a revision of the model used in the calculation of the index, relating to an ongoing revision of the National Accounts.

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.
