About this data
Changes in inventories is the value of entries into inventories less the value of withdrawals and less the value of any recurrent losses of goods held in inventories during the accounting period.This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
