Statistician's Comment

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (08 August 2025) published Monthly Services Index June 2025 (Provisional) and May 2025 (Final).

Commenting on the release, Tommy Allen, Statistician in the Enterprise Statistics Division said: “In June 2025, the overall index of All Services showed increases in both value (+1.0%) and volume (+1.5%). This month, the All Services index returned to a more stable movement following the period of volatility observed over the previous three months.

The largest monthly value increases were in Administrative & Support Service Activities (+7.6%) and Transportation & Storage (+3.4%). The sector showing the largest value decrease was Wholesale & Retail Trade (-5.4%).

In volume terms, the largest monthly growth was observed in Administrative & Support Service Activities (+8.6%) and Transportation & Storage (+4.2%), while Wholesale & Retail Trade (-4.5%) recorded the largest monthly decline.

Looking at changes on an annual basis, All Services was 20.2% higher in value and was up 28.1% in volume terms in June 2025 when compared with June 2024. This increase was largely driven by the strong performance of the Information & Communication sector over the previous year, up 41.2% in value and 50.0% in volume. The Modified Monthly Services Index shows All Services excluding Information & Communication fell by 3.8% in value and 1.2% in volume when compared with June 2024.

Users should note that this release now includes the Modified Monthly Services Index which provides greater insight into Ireland's services economy."

Seasonally Adjusted Value and Volume Index for Monthly Services

Figure 1 shows the seasonally adjusted value and volume indices for the Monthly Service Index, while Table 1 highlights both the monthly and annual percentage change in both value and volume. Value indices represent turnover, whereas volume indices represent deflated turnover which strips out the impact of price changes. Volume indices show changes in the amount of business activity in the services sector over time.

It should be noted that the significant increase observed since 2024 has been heavily influenced by the performance of the Information & Communication sector. All Services excluding Information & Communication can be observed in the Modified Monthly Services Index (see Figure 3).
