Methodological note

The Industrial Production Index (IPI) is a short-term indicator that measures short-term changes in the added value of industrial sectors and industry as a whole. It is a value index which measures quantity and quality together without considering the effect of prices.

Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019, as implemented in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197 of 30 July 2020, sets out the technical specifications, definitions and concepts governing the production of this indicator.

The Industrial Production Index is calculated for the large industrial sectors according to the economic destination of goods (defined by EC Regulation No. 656/2007 of the Commission of the European Communities, amending EC Regulation No. 586/2001, in reference to the definition of large industrial sectors). Idescat includes a disaggregation of capital goods and intermediate goods for Catalonia. It also provides this for the four sections of the CCAE-2009 and the divisions within manufacturing industries.

Idescat additionally calculates the Industrial Production Index of industrial products, which includes all the large industrial sectors except for energy.

Furthermore, it publishes the Industrial Production Index adjusted by working days, which allows for calculation of variation rates between months of equal duration. The correction is performed for the general index and each of the large industrial sectors.

The primary source of information is a continuous monthly survey conducted by the INE.
