Archive:The "flash" in the limelight
Eurostat wrote a little piece of history with the launch of the flash estimate of the harmonised indices for consumer prices (HICP) in November 2001, just before the changeover to the euro in 2002. Today, the flash estimate is issued on the last working day of the month, two weeks before the full HICP, and it is praised for its quality, accuracy and timeliness.
Introduction
<description and/or analysis of most important statistical data, illustrated by tables and/or graphs> The flash HICP gives an early estimate of the development of annual inflation in the euro area. In most months it is based on early data from nine euro-area countries, which represent 95 % of the euro-area total expenditure weight. The econometric model which is used to calculate the flash also includes data on energy prices and takes into account historical data and seasonal trends.
