The Monthly Industrial Production and Industrial Turnover Indices measure changes in production and turnover values of industrial enterprises. Indices do not measure the actual production level. They aim to measure the average change in the value of production between two points in time. Indices are compiled based on information collected through a representative sampling survey on industrial enterprises. The sample covers enterprises with an annual turnover of more than 97% of the total turnover in the industry.
