3.1. Data description | |||
Industrial production index (IPI) is applied for measuring changes in the volume of industrial production in monthly periods with reference to the base period. The IPI is based on the value of sold production which is deflated by the relevant monthly producer price index at the 3-digit level of NACE Rev. 2. The index belongs to the short-term indicators, which describe the current economic situation and are used as a basis for economic policy decisions. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
The Polish Classification of Activities (PKD 2007) based on the NACE Rev.2. |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
Groups and divisions of sections B to D (excl. D353) of NACE Rev. 2. |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
Industrial production index is based on the value of sold production. It includes the revenues from sale of own products (goods and services) and the value of manufactured products not categorized as sale, but included in sales. The following are excluded: VAT invoiced to the client by the producer and taxes which fall on the products and services when they leave the factory (e.g. excise tax). The value of sold production is deflated by the relevant monthly producer price index at the 3-digit level of NACE Rev. 2. Definition of industrial production index is compliant with Eurostat recommendations and STS methodological manual. |
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||

|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
The target population includes economic entities employing 10 or more persons classified to sections B to D (excl. D353) of NACE Rev.2 (31364 entities in December 2022). The frame for identifying units for the target population is the Statistical Business Register (BJS) supported by the National Official Business Register (REGON). The basis for the selection of entities is their main type of activity according to the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD equivalent of the NACE Rev. 2) and the number of persons employed. For industrial entities employing:
The number of economic entities covered by the survey (in December 2022) was distributed between MIGs aggregates as follows:
The coverage rate of the target population in relation to the full scope of population in terms of sold production amounts to about 94%. |

The legal basis of the quality measurement and assessment is the internal Regulation of Statistics Poland's President No 35 of 28th December 2011 which came into force in the 4th quarter of 2012. The quality assessment of statistical surveys is conducted according to an annual quality program for the official statistics which is in line with the Regulation of Statistics Poland's President No 35 of 28th December 2011. Procedures and rules applied in quality assessment and monitoring are based on the ESS Quality Standards, i.e. the ESS Quality Declaration, recommendations of the ESS Leadership Expert Group on Quality (LEG) and the European Statistics Code of Practice (CoP). The quality of statistical surveys is evaluated by means of standard quality reports and quality indicators recommended in the ESS Handbook for Quality Reports as well as by self-assessment checklist and quality audits and reviews. |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
The quality of statistical surveys is evaluated by means of standard quality reports and quality indicators recommended in the ESS Handbook for Quality Reports as well as by self-assessment checklist and quality audits and reviews. Quality review of the monthly survey (DG-1), which is the data source for most STS indicators, was conducted in 2022. Relevance is maintained every year while drafting the “Statistical Survey Program of Official Statistics”. |
|
|||
12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
User needs are systematically monitored and taken into consideration while drafting the 'Statistical Survey Program of Official Statistics' for the next year. The organs of the state power, government and self-government administration, organizations of employers and other institutions, provide opinions on statistical surveys and recommend implementation of the new ones.
|
|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
User satisfaction survey was conducted at the end of 2013. The survey covered the following data users: government and self-government administration, National Central Bank, Polish Financial Supervision Authority, research institutes, universities, organizations of employers, enterprises, insurance institutions, media, social organizations, professional self-government, economic self-government, trade unions, students, individuals.
The report on user satisfaction is available on the Statistics Poland's website (in Polish). |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
The completeness of data corresponds with requirements of the EBS Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European business statistics, Commission Implementing Regulation 2020/1197 and short-term methodological manual. |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
There are negligible non-sampling errors concerning coverage, measurement and non-response. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
There is an exhaustive survey for economic entities employing 50 or more persons. Industrial economic entities employing (in December 2022):
The index covers about 94% of the industrial production (Sections B to D (excl. D353)). |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
There are negligible non-sampling errors concerning coverage, measurement and non-response. Improvement actions taken include: increasing registry updates, careful logical and accounting controls, analysis of the reasons for non-response and constant contact with the reporting units in order to increase the rate of response (telephone or e-mail follow-up of non-respondents). In September 2022 the response rate for economic entities employing 50 and more persons was about 95%, for entities employing 10-49 persons (a minimum 10% sample survey) about 2581 entities submitted report (out of 22770 entities in target population). |
|
|||
14.1. Timeliness | |||
Industrial production index is published on the 13th working day after the end of the reference month. Timeliness is the same for all available aggregation levels of industrial production. |
|||
14.2. Punctuality | |||
100% releases delivered on time according to the scheduled release dates. |
|
|||
15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
The same statistical concepts and classifications are applied in the entire national territory. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Data on industrial production are comparable over time. When significant changes are introduced (e.g. change of classification, base year or methodology), historical time series are recalculated as far back as it is reasonably possible. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
Industrial production is used for estimations of quarterly national accounts. Results of the monthly industrial production are compared with the results of the monthly opinion survey in industry, monthly quantitative survey (production by PRODCOM), quarterly financial results and with annual data (SBS). All units covered with the short-term survey report data on the same monthly questionnaire, which is used for collecting data for production and other short-term indicators, e.g. industrial turnover, new orders, employment as well as wages and salaries. It enables to compare the results between these indicators. Industrial production survey is consistent with producer prices survey, i.e. the same units are covered with these two surveys. The value of sold production of a current period is used as weight for producer price index which is used as deflator for industrial production. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
In the case of gross data the higher aggregates for industrial production are consistent with their main sub-aggregates because the data on industrial production are compiled on the basis of the value of sold production and the higher aggregation levels are obtained by summing up absolute values from lower aggregation levels. |
|
|||
Cost of the NSI – 5186 hours annually. |
|
|||
17.1. Data revision - policy | |||
Data revision policy is consistent with Eurostat recommendations (ESS guidelines on revision policy for PEEIs). According to these recommendations, notice about major changes, e.g. in classification, methodology or base year, is provided in advance of the change. Notice about minor changes is given at the time the change is introduced. The same revision policy is applied to data released nationally and transmitted to Eurostat. |
|||
17.2. Data revision - practice | |||
The industrial production index is revised in the following month after reference period if the deflator (i.e. producer price index) changes. Usually the magnitude of change is very slight – 0.1-0.5 percentage point. Revision indicators for calendar adjustment y-o-y growth rates:
|
|
|||
18.1. Source data | |||
The source of data is statistical survey covering economic entities with 10 or more persons employed. The frame on which the source is based is the Statistical Business Register (BJS) supported by the National Official Business Register (REGON). The survey is conducted on the basis of sample of economic entities with 10-49 persons employed and census of entities employing 50 or more persons. Industrial economic entities employing (in December 2022):
The index covers about 94% of the industrial production (Sections B to D excl. D353). |
|||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | |||
Monthly. |
|||
18.3. Data collection | |||
A single monthly questionnaire on economic activity (DG-1) is used for all respondents covered by the survey. The questionnaire covers, among others, the following information:
Data on industrial production are collected both for reporting month as well as for accrued period (cumulative data from January to the end of the reporting month). In accrued data, reporting units include possible revisions for the previous periods, which does not have an impact on the real level of the production value in reporting month. All data collection is done by electronic questionnaire; Non-response is monitored by means of the completeness reports. |
|||
18.4. Data validation | |||
Appropriate validation procedures are applied during the whole production process of statistics, and they are in line with rules provided by Eurostat, i.e. starting from selection of respondents to compiling indices and transmission to Eurostat. Validation procedures are applied on the level of individual respondents and on aggregated level as well as before data transmission to Eurostat.
In the case of any doubts about data correctness there is a direct contact with an unit in order to explain outliers. Data validation on aggregated level is conducted both by the Regional Statistical Office responsible for the survey as well as by the authorial departments of Statistics Poland. The quality of aggregated data is monitored at least at the three-digit level of NACE Rev.2 and NUTS 2 level. Both the values and dynamics are compared with previous month and corresponding month of the previous year. Any discrepancies are scrutinized before dissemination of national indices. The most of STS indicators are surveyed on the same monthly questionnaire (DG-1) what means that validation procedures are quite consistent. |
|||
18.5. Data compilation | |||
After validation of data reported by industrial economic entities, the data for non-respondents are estimated on the basis of their responses from previous periods. In order to obtain data for the whole population of industrial economic entities employing 10 or more persons, grossing-up is done on the basis of reporting data collected from all entities employing 50 or more persons and from the sample of entities employing 10-49 persons. Grossing-up is done on the basis of employment and labour productivity at the NUTS 2 level and Division level of NACE Rev. 2. Grossed up results are used to compile indices. On the basis of the value of sold production in constant prices, the industrial production index (IPI) is compiled – Laspeyres index. |
