The purpose of producer price index for services (SPPI) is to estimate average quarterly price development on services bought and sold by Swedish companies.

The index numbers are used for inflation measurements, national account calculations of economic growth. It’s also used for index of services, productivity development in fixed prices and price regulations in long term agreements.

• The service reported should be representative for the activity/operation and be as consistent as possible over time. The purpose of collecting other features than prices is to make an assessment of quality, if changes in services occur.
• Login details will be sent to you by e-mail in the beginning of each quarter. Thus, it is of great importance to correctly specify your e-mail address.
• The information can be reported in your preferred currency. Prices reported in a foreign currency will be converted into SEK.

The last response date is approximately 20 days after the end of the reference period. There is a link at the top of this page.

Is my company obliged to participate in the survey?
Yes. There is an obligation to provide information for this survey in accordance with the Official Statistics Act (2001:99). This means that you are required by law to provide the information to Statistics Sweden.

How long will my company participate in the survey?
The sample is drawn every year, but only a part of the sample is updated annually, which means that it may take a few years for a unit to rotate. The idea is to maintain a certain continuity and comparability in the survey while spreading the response burden over time.
