Methodology: each index is a real, verified feed from its official statistical agency, the same 194-index catalog behind the public index lookup. Month-over- month, year-over-year, and three-year change each compare the report month's value to the value exactly one, twelve, or thirty-six months earlier; an index without a value on one of those exact months shows that comparison as unavailable rather than an estimate. No customer or contract data is used anywhere on this page.
