This paper compares the empirical pattems of composite business indicators for industry and households filled with the RIED survey data and calculated according to the RIED own formula and to the EU formula. The authors tries to determine the possible leads or lags between the two versions of each indicator. In the light of his findings, the EU version of business indicator for industry tends to precede the changes of the RIED version by slightly less than one month. For households, the opposite is true, e.i. the EU version lags behind the RIED original formula.
