The following four main indicators are calculated:

- the services to businesses producer price indices: they measure the trends in transaction prices for the activities of services sold to businesses on the French market. They are evaluated based on the concept of basic prices (excluding VAT, excluding taxes on the products and with subsidies on the products not deducted, including intra-group transactions), and of market prices (excluding VAT, taxes on the products, subsidies on the products deducted, excluding intra-group transactions);

- the services to households producer price indices, according to the conventions of National Accounts. The measure is established at the basic prices (unlike indices consumer prices that are at market prices);

- the services exportation price indices, according to the conventions of National Accounts;

- the combination of the three indices above determines the services producer price indices for all markets (French market and foreign markets) at basic prices.
