Abstract

This guide provides comprehensive guidance on leading, composite and sentiment indicators (LCS). LCS indicators offer a powerful way of communicating statistical information and of reaching out to users of statistics. The indicators can provide relevant and timely information on aspects of the economy and the society that are not covered by more conventional statistics. They can also provide information on complex phenomena in a simple and condensed form – for instance on current or expected economic development or on the well-being or sense of happiness of citizens.
