3.1. Data description
The industrial producer price index is part of the general STS indicator system, which aims to show the dynamics of the general price level for domestically produced industrial products sold both within Ukraine and abroad.
3.2. Classification system
Classification of Economic Activities (KVED-2010) is harmonized with the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community/ Nomenclature statistique des Activites economiques dans la Communaute Europeenne (NACE Rev.2). The Nomenclature of Industrial Products (NPP-2023) is harmonized with the Statistical Classification of Products by Economic Activity of the EU (CPA, ver. 2.1), is based on the List of Industrial Products for the EU (PRODCOM, 2023) and takes into account energy products. The degree of correspondence with the CPA is identical at the subcategory level, with PRODCOM at the type level. The NPP, with some exceptions, is harmonized with the UN Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS)/EU Combined Nomenclature (CN).
3.3. Coverage - sector
Activities related to the sale of domestically produced products, both within Ukraine and abroad, and cover sections B, C and D (except for classes 07.21, 24.46, groups 25.4, 30.1, 30.3 and 30.4, sections 36-39) according to KVED-10. Goods for personal use and defense products are not included in the surveillance.
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions
The main information collected is the price of domestically produced industrial products, which are sold both within Ukraine and abroad, excluding value added tax, excise tax, and which does not include transportation costs, which are separately charged by the manufacturer. The variables, definitions and frequency of data compilation comply with Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of 27 November 2019 in conjunction with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197.
3.5. Statistical unit
The unit of statistical observation is a legal entity, a separate subdivision of a legal entity.
3.6. Statistical population
The object of statistical observation (target population) is legal entities, separate divisionslegal entities, engaged in the production and sale of industrial products. The formation of the general population of units is carried out on the basis of the population of units under study, the statistical observation "Production and sale of industrial products by type" in the part of units for which information has been received and which meet the following criteria: by type of statistical unit: local unit by type of economic activity; carry out the sale of products belonging to the types of economic activity of sections B, C, D (except for classes 07.21, 24.46, groups 25.4, 30.1, 30.3 and 30.4, sections 36-39) of KVED-10. The population of units under study is formed on the basis of the general population, taking into account the list of producer units of the selected representative goods (services). The sample population is formed using the stratification procedure, which consists in the preliminary distribution of the general population of statistical observation units within each representative product (service) into more homogeneous groups (strata) and the selection of a certain number of producer units in each of them for direct observation of the following target characteristics: type of industrial product according to its classification according to the National Product Classification; value of products sold; territorial affiliation of the statistical unit.

10.1. Dissemination format - News release
Express releases are not provided for this observation. Statistical information based on the results of the survey is published monthly on the official website of the State Statistics Service in the section "Statistical Information"/"Economic Statistics"/"Prices"/"Indices of Industrial Producer Prices".
The results of statistical observation are not formed in the online statistical database due to its absence, but are published on the official website of the State Statistics Service in the "Statistical Information" section.
10.4. Dissemination format - microdata access
Not available.
10.5. Dissemination format - other
The information is published in open data format. Data is transmitted to Eurostat monthly.
To ensure quality, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine has implemented a Quality Policy in state statistics bodies (document available only in Ukrainian) in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Official Statistics”, the Regulations on the State Statistical Service of Ukraine, and the European Statistics Code of Practice.
11.2. Quality management - assessment
Data processing consists of working out standard procedures for data received from respondents, including checking the completeness of their input, arithmetic and logical controls of the received primary data, checking the correctness of the ratio of individual indicator values, comparing indicator values in dynamics, identifying similar answers by comparing indicator values. Also, the level of reporting by respondents and the analysis of the reasons for their non-submission are monitored. In case of non-reporting by the respondent, missing data are extrapolated using appropriate imputation methods, which are explained in more detail in section 13.3.
12.1. Relevance - User Needs
Users of statistical information are state and local government bodies, businesses (enterprises, institutions and organizations), scientists and researchers, the media, public organizations, international organizations, and citizens. Producer price indices of industrial products are also used internally for short-term statistics and national accounts purposes.
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction
The State Statistics Service conducts a questionnaire survey on user satisfaction in various sectors of statistics. User suggestions and information on their consideration (only in Ukrainian) are available on the official website of the State Statistics Service in the "Questionnaire Surveys" section.
12.3. Completeness
STS requirements in accordance with EU rules and national legislation are met.
13.1. Accuracy - overall
Review of statistical information based on the results of statistical observation is not provided. The overall reliability of the survey at the aggregate level is considered sufficient due to the low non-response rate, reliable sampling frames and the application of methods in line with international standards.
13.2. Sampling error
It is impossible to quantify, since when forming a sample of statistical observation units, a survey of statistical observation units is used using the method of non-complete study of populations - truncation and random sampling. This method allows obtaining representative information for calculating producer price indices of industrial products at the state level.
13.3. Non-sampling error
The main reasons for non-response include the cessation of production and sales of the product (service) being monitored, or due to unavoidable circumstances. In such cases, one of the methods for compensating for missing data is used:
replacement with a similar product (service) sold by this or another manufacturer of the relevant product (service) - representative;
price carryover. Under this method, the price of the last sale of products is carried over to the reporting month (provided that the price situation is stable). The price carryover method is used in cases where there is reason to believe that the price of the products has remained unchanged;
price imputation.
To ensure data quality, if inconsistencies are identified, the respondent may be contacted to clarify the data and appropriate editing of the information. The level of reporting by respondents involved in the observation is also monitored and the reasons for non-submission are analyzed. The response rate of respondents in 2024 was 80,4%.
14.1. Timeliness
Information on the price on the 20th of the reporting month is provided no later than the 4th of the month following the reporting month. The results of statistical observation are published approximately on the 23rd of the month following the reporting month. The publication dates, indicators and their breakdowns (detailing), as well as statistical products distributed based on the results of the observation, are specified in the plan of state statistical observations for the relevant year.
14.2. Punctuality
All publication deadlines met.
15.1. Comparability - geographical
The results of statistical observation are formed for Ukraine as a whole, since 2014 excluding the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, since 2015 - excluding the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the city of Sevastopol and part of the temporarily occupied territories in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, from 2022 - excluding the territories temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation and part of the territories where hostilities are (were) conducted. The methodological provisions take into account international standards for constructing producer price indices of industrial products, therefore the data obtained from the observation results are considered internationally comparable.
15.2. Comparability - over time
The statistical indicators of this observation can be compared in dynamics for the industry as a whole since 1991.
15.3. Coherence - cross domain
Consistency of data with national accounts statistics is ensured, as the PPI is used as a source of information for calculating GDP and its components at constant prices.
15.4. Coherence - internal
The results of this statistical observation are internally consistent and consistent over time.
12 people are working on methodological preparation, conducting the survey, processing, calculations, evaluation and publication.
17.1. Data revision - policy
Data revision based on the results of statistical observation is not provided. For Eurostat data, there is also no revision.
17.2. Data revision - practice
No revision of statistical information is performed. MAR=0 AND MR =0
18.1. Source data
Sources of information are: information received from respondents; statistical observation information "Production and sale of industrial products by type"; information from the statistical observation "Structural changes in the economy of Ukraine and its regions"; statistical observation information "Register of statistical units".
18.2. Frequency of data collection
Data is collected monthly.
18.3. Data collection
Statistical reporting is submitted in form No. 1-prices (industrial) (monthly) "Report on prices of industrial producers" exclusively in electronic form.
18.4. Data validation
At the regional level, confirmation of information necessary for conducting the survey consists of processing standard procedures for data received from respondents that are entered/uploaded into the electronic environment (including control of the completeness of their entry, arithmetic and logical controls of the received primary data, verification of the correctness of the ratio of individual indicator values, comparison of indicator values in dynamics, identification of similar responses by comparing indicator values). At the state level, to ensure the quality of the results obtained, any unusual price changes are analyzed, indicators are also compared with previous periods and similar periods of the previous year. In addition, questionable values and data distribution are identified and analyzed, and trends are studied. If inconsistencies are identified, the respondent may be contacted to clarify the data and edit the information accordingly.
18.5. Data compilation
With the help of weighting factors at the state level, individual indices are aggregated into general ones. To calculate price indices, a weight structure is formed (for Ukraine as a whole and for products sold within and outside Ukraine): by representative goods (services), types of activity - at the state level, by products - at the regional level. Weighting coefficients are calculated based on data on the cost of products sold for the penultimate year to the reporting year. The weight structure is revised annually. Price indices based on the new weight structure are calculated starting in January of each year. Also, if the unit has ceased production and sale of the product (service) being monitored, or the unit has not submitted a report due to unavoidable circumstances, then one of the methods for compensating for missing data is applied:
replacement with a similar product (service) sold by this or another manufacturer of the relevant product (service) - representative;
price carryover. Under this method, the price of the last sale of products is carried over to the reporting month (provided that the price situation is stable). The price carryover method is used in cases where there is reason to believe that the price of the products has remained unchanged;
price imputation.
18.6. Adjustment
