Turnover in service industries grew by 2.7 per cent year-on-year in October to December

Turnover in service industries grew by 2.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2012 from last year. One year previously, turnover in service industries grew by 6.5 per cent. Services are here examined exclusive of trade, and the data have been adjusted for working days by eliminating the effects of calendar variations from them.

Three months' year-on-year change in turnover in services (TOL 2008)

In the last quarter of the year, turnover developed more slowly than in the previous year in all main service industries, apart from real estate activities where it went up by 6.2 per cent. The second most growth was attained in hotels and restaurants, where the turnover of enterprises rose by 3.7 per cent from the corresponding period of the year before. Turnover developed weakest in arts, entertainment and recreation, where it dropped by 1.3 per cent from one year ago.

The indices of turnover will adopt base year 2010=100 from the January 2013 data. Data using the new base year will be published for the first time on 15 April 2013.
