What it is

It is an indicator that measures the productive activity, in quality and quantity, excluding the influence of prices. It is represented as an index number that measures the change in time of the physical volume of production in industry excluding construction sector.

How it's calculated

a survey of about 8,000 companies is performed, and then the (general, average and seasonally adjusted) index numbers are calculated. disaggregated information is provided by economic destination (final consumer goods, investment and intermediate) and sectors of economic activity. The index is calculated based on 2000 = 100 (previously 1995, having made the switch from data January 2003).

Market implications

Related to the country's GDP, accounting for a certain percentage of it, so it is a good indicator of the economic situation, and a detailed sectoral analysis provides information about what drives or stops the activity. It is also related to business confidence.

Limitations

It is subject to subsequent revisions, so the data must be interpreted with caution.
