METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Purpose
The Industrial Production Index expresses the monthly change in the volume of production in the mining and quarrying sectors, manufacturing, electricity supply, water supply and materials recovery, i.e. sectors B, C, D and E of the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Rev. 2 of the European Union. The indicator excludes waste water treatment, collection, treatment and disposal of waste and remediation activities, i.e. codes 37, 38.1, 38.2 and 39 of sector E.
Data collection
Data collection is carried out by the Statistical Office, either by telephone interviews, fax or e-mail. Collection starts five to ten days after the end of the period under consideration and is usually completed within a month and a half. In the mining and quarrying sector, the main quarrying products are covered, but not the supporting activities for gas extraction. In manufacturing, all enterprises with a production value of EUR 1 700 000 or more or employing 20 or more persons are covered and a sample of smaller enterprises is taken. The Cyprus Electricity Authority provides production data, while data are also taken from the Water Supply Boards and desalination plants.
Method of calculation and publication practices
The Industrial Production Index is based on 2015, i.e. it shows the monthly change in production relative to the monthly average production in 2015. In the base year, the average of the Production Indices for the twelve months is 100.0. For example, if the Production Index for a given month is 103.4, this means that production for that month increased by 3.4% compared to the average monthly production in 2015.
To compile the total Industrial Production Index, the weighted average of the individual indicators is calculated for the various branches of industry as defined in the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Rev.2. The index is sent monthly to the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat) and in a corrected form (seasonally corrected and corrected for the number of working days). No corrections are made for publication at national level.
