Rebasing the input index of the building costs of new dwellings - Netherlands (2005)

Statistics Netherlands calculates the monthly Input index of building costs for new dwellings to monitor developments in the price level of new dwellings in the Netherlands. Starting with the figures on January 2005, the Input index is published with 2000 as new base year. This paper deals with the changes made in the rebasing and the differences between the index series based on 1995=100 and the index series with base year 2000.
