The Industrial Production Index (IPI) is one of the short-term business statistics (STS) indicators used to measure changes in the volume of industrial production on a monthly basis. It is a key indicator of economic development and is used, in particular, for the early identification of turning points in economic activity.
The two short-term surveys in Ukraine cover economically active units – business entities accounting for at least 90% of the volume of production by product and 80% of turnover by economic activity.

The Industrial Production Index in Ukraine is an indicator of changes in the volume of industrial production and is calculated as a weighted average of the corresponding individual indices for each product.
The variables, definitions and frequency of data compilation are in line with Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019, in conjunction with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197.

The statistical unit is a legal entity, a separate subdivision of a legal entity, and an individual entrepreneur.
The local kind-of-activity unit (local KAU) is used to define the population of units.

The object of statistical observation (target population) is business entities that produce industrial products and whose activities (principal and/or secondary) according to the KVED belong to sections B, C, D, as well as other sections - if the enterprise holds a license or other authorization for the production of a specific type of industrial products which, in accordance with current legislation, is subject to state regulation. The general population of statistical observation units is formed on the basis of statistical survey data "Statistical business register".
The population of statistical survey units is formed by including units from the target population that exceed the established thresholds for the average number of employees: more than 50 persons for economic activities in Sections B, C (excluding Divisions 10 and 18) and D of KVED; more than 40 persons in Division 10; and more than 20 persons in Division 18. Units with fewer employees but significant output volumes are also selected to ensure an adequate level of coverage of industrial production. The population of statistical survey units also includes individual entrepreneurs that submit the monthly survey form and constitute a stable panel of respondents.
Approximately 9000 statistical survey units are included in the survey each month.

In Ukraine as a whole, from 2014, excluding the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, from 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.

Overall accuracy of the Industrial Production Index is assessed as satisfactory.

Index. 

The index is calculated on the basis of data on industrial production for a fixed list of representative products. Approximately 1200 items of the Nomenclature are used. Data on the volume of industrial production, by type, are preliminarily compiled through the arithmetic summation. 
For products whose production volumes are recorded in value terms, a deflation procedure is applied using industrial producer price indices.
For the calculation of indices for products with a long production cycle, data on hours worked by employees are used; for Section D of KVED, data on the volumes of electricity/gas distributed to consumers through local networks are also used.
The calculation is carried out in two stages. At the first stage, indices relative to the average monthly value of the base year are calculated for economic activity at the lowest level of KVED and aggregated across higher levels of the KVED hierarchy using a fixed system of base-year weights based on the gross value added structure, using the Laspeyres formula. At the second stage, derived indices are calculated for the respective comparison periods: the previous month, the corresponding month of the previous year, and the corresponding period of the previous year.
Industrial Production Indices are calculated at the national level and separately for 25 regions. Regional indices are calculated using a similar methodology adapted to the specific features of the regional level.
The base year is determined in accordance with the EU five-year cycle (years ending in 0 or 5). Due to exceptional circumstances related to the war and structural changes in the Ukrainian economy, the weighting structure has not been updated from 2016 to 2021 (the 2016 base year was introduced instead of 2015, which was low from an economic perspective at the time of the previous update).

The sources are:

  • information on industrial products manufactured (gross production) by NPP-2023 items, in physical or value terms, obtained from respondents;
  • aggregated data on hours worked by employees (engaged in production, both with long and short production cycles) for certain economic activities (codes 25.3, 25.4, 30.3, 30.4, 28.11, 30.11, 33.15 and 33.16 according to KVED), and on the volume of electricity/gas distributed to consumers through local networks, from the statistical survey "Economic indicators of short-term industrial statistics";
  • data on industrial producer price indices from the statistical survey "Changes in prices of industrial producers".

The following data are also used to compile the weighting structure for the base year:

  • the quantity of produced industrial products by type and the average unit price of industrial products sold, produced from own raw materials, or the value of industrial products (statistical survey "Production and sold of industrial products by types");
  • gross value added by economic activity, compiled on the basis of data from the structural survey according to the algorithm for calculating gross value added using the production-cost approach (statistical survey "Annual national accounts").

Monthly.

The Industrial Production Index is disseminated 33–35 days after the end of the reference period.
The dissemination dates, the list of indicators and their breakdowns, as well as the statistical products disseminated on the basis of the results of the statistical survey, are specified in the plan of state statistical surveys for the relevant year.

The statistical survey is conducted using uniform methodological approaches to the definition of the indicator, observation units, the target population, the reference period, frequency, geographical coverage, data collection and processing methods, and statistical classifications. This ensures the geographical comparability of data on the Industrial Production Index.
The results of the statistical survey are compiled without taking into account the territories temporarily occupied by the russian federation and parts of the territories where hostilities are (were) conducted.

Data on the Industrial Production Index for Ukraine are available as a time series from 1991 onwards.
