Over a year, output in services was up markedly (+3.0%)

Output over the last three months (June to August 2023) was 3.0% higher than in the same months a year earlier. It increased markedly in information-communication (+7.5%), and in arts, entertainment and recreation (+7.8%), mainly due to activities linked to sport. It went up in professional, scientific and technical activities (+3.3%), administrative and support service activities (+2.9%) and accommodation and food service activities (+3.1%). On the contrary, it declined significantly in real estate activities (‑5.3%), and more slightly, in transportation and storage (‑1.4%).

Revisions

The monthly change in the services production index in July 2023 is revised upwards by 0.5 points (after rounding), to ‑0.3%. This marked revision is mainly due to the late inclusion of declarations submitted after the due by certain companies during the summer vacations.
