The paper deals with business services as a component of the economy and market. The scope of business services in theory and practice is defined and the changes occurring in the classification of economic activities are described. Reasons why business services have been gaining ground are explained, and their functions and tasks related in particular to the support of economic growth and competitiveness are clarified. Their position in the economy is analysed with special regard to EC countries and Slovakia's economy during the process of integration into the EC economic environment. External dimensions of business services in EU countries in terms of participation in the overall exports of services and active balance are specified in the paper. Key aspects of EC policies in the area of business services are identified.

In this paper, we propose four measures to calculate the KIBS intensity of trade (i.e., KIBS terms of trade; an importance indicator; an indicator showing the relative KIBS intensity of exports; and an indicator showing the relative importance of KIBS). Finally, we examine the composition of KIBS output imputed to export. The study refers to the EU countries. Calculations are based on a set of input-output tables from the World Input-Output Database for the period 2000 – 2014. Empirical results demonstrate that the EU-15 has a clear and growing advantage over the EU-13 in KIBS direct exports, but when taking into account indirect KIBS trade, the EU-15’s advantage is smaller, with a decreasing trend. Export appeared to be more KIBS-intensive than production for domestic final demand, and computer and information services were the main engine behind the growing KIBS intensity of export. Among the EU countries, Ireland is an outlier.
