Over 30 special aggregates have been created for economic analysis. These include, for example indices for goods, services, energy, or excluding some components as energy and unprocessed food. Special aggregates are revised according to the underlying classification's revision and the set aggregates were compiled to meet specific policies needs. Their definitions can be found in Eurostat's classifications server.
