Abstract
This paper has two messages. First: producer services should no longer be: considered costs or necessary evils in the economy, but he understood as the dynamic cornponr:nts of the extremely integrated system of activities which a modern economy forms. Second: in a local context, producer services no longer simply passively follow the development of the goods-producing sectors, but increasingly play a leading role, partly through exporting thseir services to other regions and partly through the synergies which their services create in the local goods producing sector. Hence, local economic policies should also be directed towards the producer services.Keywords
