Methodological information:
Definitions The Producer Price Index in Industry is a monthly index and is a composite of the individual Domestic and External Producer Price Indices.
For prices of products sold on the domestic market, selling prices are collected excluding VAT and other duties or taxes on the products.
For prices of products sold on the external market, FOB (free on board) prices are collected and include all charges until the goods are loaded on the means of transport to their export destination.
The prices selected for the compilation of the index refer mainly to transactions between the enterprises producing and selling the goods selected for pricing and the enterprises buying them, regardless of whether these goods are subsequently used as raw materials for the production of other products or resold.
Purpose of the Index The monthly Producer Price Index for Industry expresses the evolution of prices in the mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity and water supply and materials recovery industries, 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. The indicator may provide an early indication of inflationary pressures in the economy. The overall index is broken down into a domestic market index and an export index.
Data collection Data collection for the mining and quarrying, manufacturing and materials recovery sectors is carried out by the Statistical Office through telephone interviews and e-mail. The values are taken after the first Thursday of each month from a sample of enterprises. The Cyprus Electricity Authority provides consumption data in quantity and value, while data is also obtained from the Water Supply Boards and desalination plants.
Method of calculation The Producer Price Index in Industry takes 2015 as the base year, i.e. it shows the monthly change in prices relative to the monthly average of prices in 2015. In the base year, the average of the Producer Price Indices for the twelve months is 100.0. For example, if the Producer Price Index for a month is 112.3 for an activity, this means that prices for that activity increased in that month by 12.3% compared to the monthly average price in 2015.
To compile the total Producer Price Index in Industry, the weighted average of the individual indices for the various sectors of Industry is calculated. The coefficients used in the weighting reflect the sales value of the products of each sub-sector in the base year (2015) in relation to the total sales value of all products of the sector.
The compilation of the Producer Price Index in Industry is carried out in the framework of the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 on European business statistics. The Index is sent monthly to the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat).
