Description
The Industrial Price Index (IPRI) measures the monthly development of the price of manufactured and sold products in the domestic market, during the first step of its commercialisation. The IPRI covers the sales prices coming out of the factory obtained by industrial establishments in the transactions which are carried out, excluding transport and commercialisation costs and VAT invoiced.
The index coverage extends to all industrial sectors, except construction. Therefore, extractive, manufacturing and production industries, distribution of electrical energy, water and gas are investigated.
In order to obtain this, an ongoing survey is conducted, each
month covering approximately 29,000 prices for 1,400 products,
in a sample of nearly 9,200 industrial establishments. The information
collected consists of current prices on the 15th day of each month.
Base 2021: updating the basket and the weightings
The first data for the IPRI, base 2021, is published in reference
to the month of January 2024. In this base change, the products
included in the basket and the weightings have been updated. The
most notable change is that the production of other non-distilled
beverages, coming from fermentation, and the manufacturing of
fiber optic cables are no longer represented in the IPRI basket.
Base 2021 weightings
The IPRI weightings have been calculated in agreement with the
importance of activity branches (according to the value of its
turnover) and products (according to the production value).
