Remarks
In addition to the industry, services and construction sectors, industries D (electricity, gas, steam and hot water plants) and E (waterworks; sewage plants; waste-disposal plants) also impact private sector production. Contributions and development for these industries can be seen in the table and diagram further down the page. Please note that data series are seasonally and calender adjusted individually. Contributions and development for these industries can be seen in the table and diagram further down the page. This means that a seasonally or calender adjusted figure for an aggregate may differ from a weighted mean of the corresponding figures for included sectors.
As of reference year 2023, there have been changes to the statistical unit business unit. In addition, from April 2023, estimated revenue data is used on a monthly basis from declared VAT data to the Swedish Tax Agency for small and medium-sized enterprises in industries (SNI 07–33). The changes are introduced with the ambition to increase the quality and streamline the production of the functional statistics that describe individual activities in the economy, for example the production value of business. For more information see Changes in statistics - Production value index - April 2023 on the Production Value Index.
Revisions
When the Production Value Index is published for a new month, the indices for the two previous months are also revised, if new information has been added. Administrative data from the Swedish Tax Agency is used quarterly to increase the number of companies that are examined. This means that definitive quarterly statistics are based on a calculation on all the companies in the population. Administrative data is used every quarter to improve the quality of the Production Value Index and reduce the response burden. Normally, the material is revised between two and four months backwards, depending on when in the quarter the reference month falls. In connection with the publication of the first and second months in a quarter, the entire previous quarter is revised. The series, corrected for calendar and seasonal effects and trend estimates, is always revised from January 2010 and forward. Information regarding major revisions will be published at:

Definitions and explanations
The Production Value Index (PVI) describes developments in the private sector production of goods and services each month. Production value is a measure used to calculate the GDP that includes net turnover from industry and service production, and the trade margin (revenue from sales minus costs of retail goods).
The PVI has been produced since the reference month November 2017 and replaces the Business Production Index.
