Methodological Information
Scope
The Industrial Production Index reflects the monthly changes of the volume of production in the sectors of mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity supply, water supply and materials recovery, that is sections B, C, D and E of the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Rev. 2 of the European Union (EU). The index does not include sewerage, waste collection, treatment and disposal and remediation activities, which are codes 37, 38.1, 38.2 and 39 of section E.
Data Collection
The collection of data is conducted by the Statistical Service by telephone enquiries or email. The data collection process starts five to ten days after the end of the reference period and is normally completed within a month and a half. The mining and quarrying sector covers all major quarrying products but not the support activities for the extraction of natural gas. For manufacturing, all enterprises with production value 2.000.000 Euros and over or with 20 or more employees are included in the survey and a sample is selected from enterprises employing less than 20 persons. For electricity supply and water collection, treatment and supply, data is collected from administrative sources.
Compilation Methods and Dissemination Practices
The Industrial Production Index is using 2021 as base year, meaning that it shows the monthly changes in production in relation with the monthly average production of the year 2021. In the base year, the average of the production indices for the twelve months is 100,0. For example, a monthly production index of 103,4 means that the production for the specific month has increased by 3,4% in relation to the monthly average production of 2021.
The aggregated Index of Industrial Production is a weighted average of the production indices of the various sub-sectors of Industry, as determined in the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Rev. 2. The weights used for the compilation of the index are derived from the value added of the enterprises in the base year (2021) and reflect the value added of each sub-sector in relation to the total value added of the Industrial sector.
The compilation of the Industrial Production Index follows the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 on European business statistics. In addition to gross data, both seasonally and working day adjusted data are transmitted every month to the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat). The Index is published at national level only in its gross form.

Data for base year 2021=100 are available only in the CYSTAT-DB Online Database.
