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 the prices of products sold on the domestic market, sales prices excluding VAT and other duties or taxes on products are collected.
For prices of products placed on the external market, FOB (free on board) prices are collected and include all charges up to the loading of the goods on the means of transport to the export destination.
The prices chosen to compile 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 sectors of mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity and 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. 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 industries is carried out by the Statistical Office through telephone interviews and email. Prices 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 has a base year of 2015, 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. The coefficients used in the weighting reflect the sales value of the products of each sub-sector in the base year (2015) relative to the total sales value of all products in the sector.
The Producer Price Index in Industry is compiled in the framework of the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 concerning European business statistics. The Index is sent monthly to the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat).
For more information, interested parties can visit the Statistical Office Portal, under Industry, CYSTAT-DB (Database), Predefined Tables (Excel), or contact Ms. Evangelia Menelaou at 22602165 or at emenelaou@cystat.mof.gov.cy.
The Predefined Tables in Excel format include data up to December 2022. For January 2023 and beyond, updates are only made to the CYSTAT-DB Database.
